MG> Manley quits Liberal leadership race

MG> OTTAWA - John Manley has dropped out of the race for the Liberal leadership,
MG> saying that to continue would be "irresponsible."

MG> John Manley, the finance minister announced his decision Tuesday morning in
MG> Ottawa. "It is apparent to me that I do not have the sufficient
support to win
MG> the leadership race in November," he told a news conference.
"I have offered
MG> the party a choice, and the party has chosen. Paul Martin will be the next
MG> leader of the Liberal Party of Canada and the next prime minister of Canada,
MG> and I believe he will be an excellent prime minister."

Funny that what suddenly became apparent to him now, was apparent to 
pretty much the rest of Canada since before Chretien announced his 
retirement.  Well, better late than never, I guess, eh?
