Jan. 30: Election dropouts and umpire background checks

*McCain up; Giuliani and Edwards out

Sen. John McCain of Arizona was a gracious winner in the Florida primary yesterday. And former New York Mayor Rudolph Giuliani realized his one-state strategy was a bust; he's dropped out of the race and endorsed McCain.

Meanwhile, a surprise today: Former Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina also waved bye-bye, after first saying he was in it until the convention. No endorsement from him for now. Perhaps he's waiting to see if Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama can develop a little class towards each other in their contest for the Democratic nomination.


*Strike one

This is fallout from last year's National Basketball Association referee scandal:

Another speck of proof for how misguided Major League Baseball is. They have background checks on the one group of people in the game doing their jobs honestly. How about checking the players and owners?
