Number Five

Drudge Report links to a story about a Democrat - Richard Ojeda whose name I’d never seen or heard - dropping his campaign for the party’s presidential nomination. By my count that is the fifth gaggle member to drop out.

As regular readers know, I follow U.S. politics. Yet I’d never come across Ojeda’s name, much less his bio. How someone with so little name recognition could imagine he had a shot at the nomination is beyond belief.

Is there a Democrat anywhere who hasn’t considered throwing his or her hat in the ring? You could almost imagine the list of those with no interest being shorter than the list of those who’d like to give it a shot.

Most would be better served to bet on the longevity of a snowflake in hell.
