Former Minnesota Governor Tim Pawlenty has decided to drop out of the Presidential race because of how poorly he did in the Iowa Straw Poll.

Like we said earlier, Michelle Bachmann cam in first for those.

"We needed a boost from Ames that didn't happen," Pawlenty told staff on a conference call Sunday morning, CNN learned. Speaking to ABC's "This Week," Pawlenty said his campaign needed a lift in the straw poll.

"The pathway forward for me doesn't really exist and so we're going to end the campaign," he said.

If she beat us we'd drop out too, ha!

But it is good of him not to waste any more money if he truly believes there isn't a path forward for him, and we commend that.

Are U disappointed he dropped out??
