And another one bites the dust, thank goodness. Brownback was by far one of the worst candidates left in the field.

I suspect Keyes and/or Tancredo will be next. Tancredo probably will run for Senate, and Keyes will remain in the same obscurity that he is now.

It may be not be popular to say here but Keyes is still holding over $500,000 in campaign debt for his past campaigns going back to 1996. There are also some...um...interesting choices in who he hires and pays with campaign funds. Keyes looks more and more like a professional perennial candidate.

Tancredo might stay in because he still has money and wants to put his issues out there in the debates. I'd expect Duncan to drop out first but since he's running for no other office or for re-election, I guess he can stay in as long as he wants to spend the money. Duncan's fundraising has been abyssmal for some reason. Tanc has a bit more money. I know Tanc applied for matching funds too, not sure about Duncan.

I look for Keyes to be the last one standing with also the possibitity of Paul. Keyes stayed until the bitter end in 2000 and gather a few anti nominee votes. Paul has a good cash base and doesn’t use much money the way he is campaigning.

The remaining bottom tier have little money and their prospects of getting any large sums are slim I’d guess.

There are 77 days until the Iowa Caucuses and that’s not a long time to gather support and money.
