One "No Chance" Candidate Out and Another One In

One candidate who had no chance from the beginning has decided to leave the campaign:
DENVER – Several news organizations are reporting Republican presidential candidate and Colorado Congressman Tom Tancredo plans to call it quits in his bid for the presidency.

The reports come from The Denver Post, NBC News and The Associated Press.

Tancredo scheduled a Thursday news conference in Des Moines for a "major announcement," but did not release any information regarding the meeting. He has consistently polled at the back of the seven-person GOP field.

He never had a prayer.

Another candidate with absolutely no chance is entering the race. She's apparently going for the insane vote:
ATLANTA, Georgia (AP) — Former Democratic Rep. Cynthia McKinney, who was ousted from office last year after a headline-grabbing scuffle with a Capitol Hill police officer, has decided to seek the presidency — as a Green Party candidate.

In a video posted on the Internet on Tuesday, McKinney criticized the war in Iraq and complained about Democrats and Republicans, saying both parties are beholden to corrupt corporate interests. She called the Green Party "my new political home."
She may well set the new record for the least votes ever received by a Green Party candidate.
