Time for the ‘also ran’ bunch to get out of the sandbox.

No. Let them get to the primary. There is at least one good candidate there to pick up the pieces when the front-runners stumble. At the very least, the second tier can help put conservative values in play for the other candidates.

Just because the presidential election season started early is no reason for an early capitulation.

I’m really sick and tired of being told that I have to choose between Rudy or Fred. Mitt is another choice, although he is the “top tier” long shot. It’s too early, and that field is too narrow for anyone to claim the mantle of heir to the GOP. There really is such a thing as burnout, I’ve already got it!

If there is enough time for the ‘gonna runs’ to avoid the sandbox, I fail to see the urgency for the “also rans” to get out.

LOL! More like it’s time for the almost running to show their stuff, like:

The bottom tier are a tad more appealing than than upper tier. None of them seem able to get any traction, however.

Regardless, the GOP field face a similar problem that the Dem field does: Too many Senators/Congressmen without any real executive experience.
