When are more candidates going to drop out?

[Reter]

The last one to drop out was Jindal. But there are so many more who are just clouding the debates. Pataki, Graham, Santorm, Christie, Kasich, and Huckabee need to realise it's a lost cause. I get why Bush isn't dropping out, because the establishment keeps telling him he'll go up in the polls and win. But the others? Come on.

And we're not perfect in this either. O'Malley has zero chance of winning, and is only hurting Bernie in close states like NH. So when do you think we'll see some more candidates drop out? Or are some waiting for the first primaries?

1. My hope is that all the remaining

Republican candidates drop out.

By close of business Tuesday, if that can be arranged.

2. Yeah, I've been wondering the same. For some IMO it's likely their moments of glory

and ego satisfaction. For others, it's advertising for their political future. Bush, yep, likely he's been told he's the one the R political machinery will push for. Jindal, I was glad to see him go, I think he's an absolute jerk.

I'm surprised too O'Malley is still there. I think, as you mentioned, some are waiting for the first primaries.

3. They are in it until they get their 100% Matching Federal Funds, esp. the Socialist Loving Cons. nt
