1/22/07 Blog Entry: Due primarily to developments in my career path over the
past few years, I have decided to withdraw from the 2008 race for the
Libertarian Party presidential nomination and the presidency. Put simply,
I’m just not ready yet. I would not be able to be all the candidate I should
be, if I were to stay in the race. I apologize to anyone who may be
disappointed — it’s likely that no one is more disappointed than I — though
I can assure you that this is for the best.
