On Halloween, this question: Who will be the next Republican to give up the ghost on a White House bid?
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dropped out of the GOP presidential race in September, a week after what critics called an underwhelming and lackluster performance at the second Republican debate.
The Democratic debate earlier this month felled long-shot candidates Lincoln Chafee, the former governor of Rhode Island, and Jim Webb, a former Virginia senator.
Debates have a way of winnowing the field. Post-debate poll results from the third GOP showdown Wednesday aren't in yet, but the reviews are: U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida, U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas and Gov. Chris Christie all were praised for their showings at this week's third Republican debate. Meanwhile, observers said U.S. Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky and former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush faded on the primetime stage.
Where do you think the ax will fall next? Vote in the informal, unscientific poll below.

He was also a Fox News contributor. That's where I saw him.
Bush must just be a glutton for punishment. The rest are obviously making money. They certainly know they don’t have a snowballs chance of winning.
The race is between Trump, Carson, Cruz and Rubio. I will never vote for Carson or Rubio. Carson is wrong on every issue I can think of, and Rubio is wrong on the most important issue, immigration.
The only poll those guys will ever see double digits in.
Ha! They're so popular that Trump beating both of them combined in the FL polls. Trump won't need them to win FL or anyplace else. Anyway it's far too early to worry about VP picks.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me if you want to be added or removed from the Fearless Poll-Freeping Freepers Ping list. (multiple votes using multiple internetz devices are allowed!) And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list) (gordongekko909, founder of the pinglist, stays on the list until his ghost signs up for the list)
Doesn’t Bush have to stay to the bitter end in order to be preferentially picked by the GOPe, regardless of how the process is supposed to work or who the voting public wants?
Oh, I have no idea! Almost half the candidates should have bowed out a month ago. If I could pick the one I *want* to drop out next, it’d be Jeb.
My best guess and hope is that he shows up at the convention with two delegates and flat broke.
I couldn’t get the site to load.
Hopefully, Jeb is the next to drop out.
Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush 10.29% (141 votes)
Didn’t quit, but he doesn’t poll well enough to even get into the kiddie table debates. I don’t know why he’s running.
A bunch will quit after Iowa. We may or may not see any more quitting before that. Rand might (should) cause of the Senate reelection issue. I doubt Christie will. I wish Jeb would.
He’s just a very limp campaigner.
But who would pick up his supporters???
Thank you.
Wow. Where did you hear about that idea?
LOL
He very well maybe the next one.
I never thought of that.
[who is Jim Gilmore? I have asked several people that question and so far only Wikipedia knows.]
