Correct, I would be sorely dissapointed if Fred dropped out, as the race has just started.
In my opinion, the only reason he came in 3rd was because of Huckabee. If Huckster would drop out, I think Fred would have a good shot at the southern states. I hope he could only stick it out. Just don’t formally announce you’re dropping out. Skip Florida if you must, but stay in at least through Super Tuesday. It’s only 2 weeks away.
