I have always felt bad when any Dem candidate has had to drop out of the race - and I certainly felt that way when O'Malley suspended his campaign last week.

I realize how much time, effort, sweat and tears go into every campaign, not only on the part of the candidate, but on the part of their supporters and volunteers. So I am always sad to see them have to acknowledge that it was all for naught in the end.

I feel very differently about BS and his campaign. I will not be at all saddened to see him leave. In fact, I will celebrate his departure.
