Apparently he's facing a serious primary challenge for his congressional seat, so it makes sense that he's not staying in till the bitter end. Also, apparently what's fuelling the challenge is due to a feeling amongst some of his constituents that his hopeless bids for presidency are making him less effective as a representative.

He was never given a chance. He was excluded from debates, absent from media coverage and -- despite having more experience as an elected official than anyone else in the race -- was discounted as a lightweight. It's too bad because, even if being treated as an equal to the other candidates did not lead to victory, it might have at least led to others stealing his platform.

He's just not your average warmongering plutocrat.

Poor guy. In international terms, he's a right social democrat. In U.S. terms, he's a far left wacko.
