Something isn't right here. The Presidential bid, failing to get enough signatures to run for re-election...I think someone might be trying to say that he has had enough.
We had a situation like that here this year. A young rising star Dem State Representative files over 1,200 signatures. He only needed 300. Over 900 were bad. He represents an overwhelmingly Dem/minority district yet claimed a lot of the signers must have been Republicans (because he went to church events with his petitions). First of all, no Democrat is unlucky enough to find that many signers and have them end up being Republicans especially in his area. Secondly, it would be hard enough to find, say, 500 Republicans in the district to sign for one of our own candidates but he was able to find more? His other excuse was that too many women must have signed using their maiden names. Not buying that one either. After everyone got over the shock, word started to circulate that he wanted out.
