That’s looking at it purely from a “horse-race” perspective. I would much prefer if everyone but Perry dropped out so he would get all the non-Romney vote as well. However, I want the people would vote in March to have a full slate of choices just like Iowa does.
I would like that too... IF Mitt Romney wasn’t in the race. There is nothing I would like more than for Mitt and Paul to drop out tomorrow, and the remaining candidates duke it out till the last primary.
But that’s not going to happen. And if they all stay in, the conservative vote is going to remain split enough to allow the libeal Mitt to win the nomination.
