McCanna

I go for lunch and all heck breaks loose: Frank McKenna says he's not running. Naturally it's all about more time with the family, don't have the fire in the belly, etc. Nothing at all to do with the ghosts of Meech, getting mau-maued up and down the country over abortion, the Grits' deeply dysfunctional family etc. What I'd like to know is, not just how this decision was reached, but when. I'd be willing to bet that as of last Wednesday, when he announced his resignation as ambassador to Washington, he was all set to go. Something changed in the last five days. What, I wonder? So: does Manley jump back in the race now? Or who does this benefit most? Who inherits his supporters, his henchmen, and his money? It's too bad. He's a good man, McKenna, and I'm sorry he won't be running.
