Too horrible to choose. They will all be eliminated at some point anyway.

I hate to do this, but I'm going to postpone indefinitely the remainder of this contest.  My schedule is about to get a lot more uncertain and I don't think I can continue heading it up.  If somebody wants to take over for me they can, but nobody has to, of course.

It was pretty fun but the last choices weren't too appealing.

Reagan is going to win this thing anyway.

I don't know that we've had a better president than Al Gore.

There's really no point to this. Only Dems are playing, so the worst president wins by default (despite his court packing scheme and despicable campaign lies), and all the good presidents lose decisively.

No, that's what makes it fun. And besides, most participants are Republicans.
