Hasta la Vista or whatever. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. My assessment of this nebish dropped a 1000 fold when I witnessed his vicious personal attacks on Bachmann in the Iowa debates.

Typical machine politician.

Not surprised. Rep. Micheale Bachman handed him his rear-end during the debate last week.

Rather than running against Oboma, he seemed hell bent on destroying Bachman. He seemed almost obsessed with her. During the debates, he was acting like a real jerk. He was turning my stomach.
Being obsessed with Bachman, he probably quit because it was she, of all people, who won. It probably blew his mind.
I wouldn't be surprised if he continued to attack her. I don't know what his problem is.

I'll settle for a Nov 2012 concession speech.

I'm greedy. I would prefer the jury foreman reading off the guilty verdicts in Nov 2012.

Huntsman should be the next to drop out.

Actually, I'd like to see an "orderly" thinning. By orderly, I mean some RINO here and some Conservative there. Otherwise, there would be too much coalescing on the last standing Rino, while the conservatives are still spread out, giving that Rino momentum he/she does not deserve, and can use to harm conservatism. Thus, I'd like to see the 4-5 Rino/4-5 Conservatives thin to 3-4 Rino/3-4 Conserv and so on, till there is a clear momentum to the last standing Conservative, strong and ready to continue.

The perfect candidate:

Newt’s brain. Cain’s optimism. Romney’s appearance/good looks. Sarah’s survival skills. Bachman’s focus. Perry’s military & executive longevity as Texas gov. Santorum’s conservatism. Huntsman’s foreign policy experience.

With a stunning stage presence and speaking voice of Clint Eastwood.

We all wish!

Like others, I think Huntsman is the next drop out. He has no name recognition and was in the Obozo Admin.

IF Bachmann continues to gain strength AND the Lamestream keeps trying to pound her then we might have a worthy candidate. She’s not afraid to speak out.

Bachmann / CAIN???

Hmm ~ RINOs in this race. Only one to ever run for public office as a Democrat is........ Ricardo Peri...... right?

Somehow I don't think Pawlenty's supporters are going to start doing the Texas Two Step.

Now if you mean Romney, he was never anything but a Republican, although there are questions about Ron Paul. Isn't he really a Libertarian Party type? Did he actually run for office as a Nazi or is that just gossip.

Like others, I think Huntsman is the next drop out.

Joe Scarborough and the "box of rocks" will be awfully disappointed.

For that exact reason, Hussein was “hidden” by the media.

Pawlenty sounds squish.

Howdy GRRRRRR

Considering that Romney has been touted as the LEADER of the Republican party and the “next” in line for the presidency...LONG before theothers threw their hats into the ring...and considering he is the BIG $$$ raiser...when you look at this list...

why isn’t anyone asking why Mitt doesn’t bow out?

1. Michele Bachmann (4823, 28.55%)
2. Ron Paul (4671, 27.65%)
3. Tim Pawlenty (2293, 13.57%)
4. Rick Santorum (1657, 9.81%)
5. Herman Cain(1456, 8.62%)
6. Rick Perry (718, 3.62%) write-in
7. Mitt Romney (567, 3.36%)
8. Newt Gingrich (385, 2.28%)
9. Jon Huntsman (69, 0.41%)
10. Congressman Thad McCotter (35, 0.21%)
