Quitting before the biggest day is odd at best.

That's when you can make the most difference. When you can see the path isn't there, why stick around when you can be the hero instead of the spoiler.  If you want a future career in the party, this is the move. Pete and Amy are getting well-deserved praise.

As someone with zero athletic ability when I play a sport of some kind I kind of expect to get beat and can deal with that,  but I just can't stand to lose  (i.e. lose for some reason other than my athletic short comings).   When I listen to elite athlete they are just the opposite.  They seem to be relatively okay with losing but just don't tell them someone else got the better of them.  The best you can hope for is that "they were the better team today".

I think the same thing is happening here.  It is far better for these "non normal ego"s to quit than to face the prospects of getting beat soundly.  And to be honest I think the bigger prizes on Super Tuesday made this normal realization happen later this year than normal.   Usually this drop out happens a couple of weeks earlier.
