Huck and Santorum could go at any time. Kasich? Pataki isn’t even in.

Trump, Cruz, Rubio, Carson, Bush, Christie, Paul, Fiorina seem to be the only ones campaigning.

Cruz and Trump are fighting over Iowa. Rubio, Bush, Christie, Fiorina are hoping to be the moderate champion in New Hampshire.

I thought the entire purpose of LG’s being in the race was to grab a few apportioned delegate votes in SC to give to the main GOPe candidate at the Convention. Why wouldn’t he remain in the race through the SC primary?

Maybe Yeb Arbusto will pick up his 0.5% support in the polls, ROFLAMO.

In general, I prefer to see the RINOs stay in the race to divide the big government liberal vote. In Lindsey Graham’s case, it doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have enough support to make a difference, not even in rounding error, with Jeb’s numbers. Who cares if Lindsey stays or goes?

How could she drop out? She was never in the race.

Linda couldn’t have garnered enough interest even if she flip-flopped on Amnesty back to closed borders.

But who will get all his supporters? his supporter?

That is, assuming his Mom was voting for him, still.
