8 of the people running I never heard of...

I think the only ones that matter are Bush, Walker, Rubio, Cruz, Huck, Santorum and Paul. Minor roles to Perry & Fiorina, Kasich and Jindal if they run. The winner comes from the first list, with potentially a solid 6-15 percent sticking with each candidate down to the wire. The rest potentially split the vote, with Huck and Santorum peeling off potential Cruz votes, and Fiorina capturing some fire with her awesome rhetoric and quick mind. The rest of the also-rans will either bow out or fizzle out before it matters.
