It would be good to winnow the field a bit before the primaries. Make the voters choose between the most viable candidates.
I wonder who would get Fred’s supporters if he did drop out? I would guess Huckabee and Romney would get the most.

I seriously doubt this is a drop out announcement—word in the field is that he may do surprisingly well. Do not pay attention to the polls—they are wildly inaccurate for Iowa and even in them the strength of “support” seems flimsy and the margins of error substantial.
I don’t think that anybody is going to drop out before the caucus next week...unless they’re going to be dead in a few months.
Fred is not dropping out. He has momentum.
The MSM is deliberatley avoiding Fred’s campaign because they are scared.
The MSM has already held the Presidential Draft and they want New York Rudy and New Yorkansas Hillary.
Then 2nd round picks are Romney and Obama.
The MSM is not the selecting force. The people cast the votes. Free will and choice is not what the MSM Presidential Draft is trying to manipulate.
Two car models and two car colors is not a car lot of choices.
Go Fred!
Look at the latest CNN poll:”WASHINGTON (CNN) – Call it an early Christmas gift for Hillary Clinton’s campaign: A new Iowa poll seems to show the New York senator with a stunning double-digit lead over her nearest rival among likely Democratic caucus-goers.
Clinton and Obama were neck-and-neck in last week’s American Research Group poll. But in the new survey, conducted December 20-23, she leads the Illinois senator by 15 percentage points, 34 to 19 percent. Obama is now in a statistical tie for second place with former North Carolina senator John Edwards, who has 20 percent of the vote.
According to the poll, Obama has lost some ground among male voters in Iowa: Last week, he led the field with 27 percent support, followed by 21 for Clinton and 19 for Edwards. This week, the leaders are Clinton and Edwards, with 28 and 27 percent support among Democratic men. Obama has 16 percent support, and Joe Biden has 11 percent”
Factor in the poll’s margin of error, and the truth is that Obama may still be ahead. Or this could be a terrible sample.
At this point the Iowa polls are really hamburger helper polls, commissioned to give the msm something to hang its opinions on to pass as news.
