Jim Gilmore finally drops out off Presidential race

Former Virginia governor Jim Gilmore is ending his long-shot bid for the Republican presidential nomination.

Gilmore suspended his campaign following a poor performance in the New Hampshire primary Tuesday, which followed an even worse showing Feb. 1 in Iowa, where he barely campaigned and was the choice of only 12 caucusgoers. Fewer than a dozen people showed up at his New Hampshire election night party. "I think we could have won [the race] on the basis of credentials and ideas for the American people," he said that night. "But the political process overcame that."

Since his campaign's launch last July, Gilmore, 66, could lay claim to the dubious distinction of being the longest long shot in a GOP field that at one time featured many of them. After participating in the opening Republican undercard debate in Cleveland last August, Gilmore didn't make a debate stage again until Jan. 28 in Des Moines.

Should've dropped sooner.
