I kind of agree with you. It irks me when people say my candidate should drop out. It really irks me.
From the way it looks now, Huntsman and Bachmann don’t seem to have a chance, but this race as been so volatile that who knows what will happen.
Plus, I, for one, am sick of Iowa. A little state with little caucuses should enjoy it’s moment of glory, don’t begrudge them, but should we pay THAT much attention to it.
It’s tempting to want the other conservative to drop out. As someone said on Fox today, if Romney gets 30% of the vote, it means 70% of the voters want someone else.
The problem is that 70% is divided among Newt, Perry, Santorum and Bachmann.
Everybody wishes the ‘other’ conservatives would drop out and support their candidate.
I wonder who they would actually support if they dropped out?
My choices in order of preference:
Newt
Perry
Santorum
Bachmann
I would vote for any of those 4 over Paul and/or Romney, which I would never vote for in the primaries or the general.
