I too think they should both contend in Iowa, and between Palin, Bachmann, and Cain, the two that don’t win Iowa should drop out before South Carolina.
What a silly thing to say since the winner of Iowa is hardly guaranteed to go on and win the nomination.
MB should get out now so that Gov Palin does not have to embarrass her when she speaks of ending subsidies for ethanol.
Not to mention the fact that MB has no chance period, other than spoiler.
