I happen to agree. The other reason is momentum.

Right now we have running:
Bachmann, Newt, Huntsman, Johnson, Paul, Perry, Romney, and Santorum, along with some others that may get on the ballot in one or two states and take 1000 votes or so. It looks like Bachmann, Johnson, Perry, and Santorum are losing or not gaining traction. They may get a couple of delegates, but not many. They will likely drop at some point and endorse others. Likely Newt or in Johnson's case, Paul.

That leaves Newt, Huntsman, Paul, and Romney. Paul will get his 10% of the vote. He'll get some delegates in some mostly small states with caucuses. Huntsman has the money and can rise if Newt or Romney stumbles. He also could spoil Romney in New Hampshire. If Huntsman doesn't gain ground by NH, he's likely done.

After New Hampshire, Iowa, and South Carolina, funding will either skyrocket or dry up depending on results. It'll be a two way race with the rest being protest votes. Then likely Newt or Romney will suspend their campaign after Super Tuesday and we'll have our nominee.

Romney's imploding in Iowa and he's in a freefall in New Hampshire.  If you believe what Newsmax says.  Huntsman and Romney will likely be gone after New Hampshire goes to the polls.  I see Paul staying in due to momentum that he's gained in the early states like Iowa and New Hampshire.    Paul is in third place at the moment in New Hampshire and at this rate he will be in second place before New Hampshire goes to the polls.  I actually think Paul will get more than 10% 

Huntsman hasn't gained ground throughout this campaign and he won't gain ground any time in the future.  That's being overly hopeful for a guy who is nothing more than a sock puppet for the Obama Regime.
