Jeb doesn't look like his heart is into it, Carson and Trump are jokes, Paul, Rubio,
and Cruz are non starters, and is Santorum still running?

(94,796 posts)The move is likely an attempt to regain momentum in early primary states as Walker's poll numbers slip into the single digits.
He was once considered a likely front-runner with a good shot at winning the Iowa caucuses, but a recent Quinnipiac University poll showed just 3 percent of likely Iowa caucus-goers supporting Walker.
