They both would have been perfect for either job. By pulling out just before super Tuesday after seeing the results of South Carolina, they have grown even higher in my estimation. Maybe after the general election when everything is done and dusted the Democratic Party might want to think about putting an age limit on candidates for president. We are now left with 3 old white men in their late 70's and a woman in her early 70's.

Any one of those three would be an awesome president. They had to take a look at reality and I'm glad they withdrew now so we can get this thing narrowed down.

I still like Amy as she brought some good old Midwestern common sense to the campaign. And Mayor Pete had stuff I disagreed with, but also had ideas which made sense. No matter what, I'm voting Blue.
