Doesn't seem like he had a choice - it was just a matter of time. His backers were not going to keep funding a flailing campaign. I think he's burned his bridges in FL too, after he changed the law to allow himself to run and has been a governor in absentia since his campaign started. Some major issues (e.g., insurance) have gone unchecked, and I think Floridians will be hard pressed to forgive what seems like an ill-considered and selfish project anytime soon.
