I think people can hold off on dropping out until SC.
But, they need to drop out immediately after SC if they are not in the top three. That would mean Huntsman and Perry for sure if the latest polling is correct.
However, mathematically, even if that’s right and those two drop out, Romney is still on top with both Gingrich and Santorum in the race because of Paul. Paul will never drop out.
So, after SC we really need Gingrich or Santorum, whomever comes out with the least votes, to drop out.
I am almost sure neither will because they will say it’s still early. Gingrich flat has too much pride to drop out probably until it’s too late.
Nominee will then be Mitt Romney unfortunately.
You missed the big story.... Vermin Supreme finished 3rd in the Democrats primary.. He got 781 votes! (snicker)
