Which Republican will drop out after tonight? [View all]

My money is on Michele Bachmann. Iowa is her backyard. She practically lived there over the past year. She was the early frontrunner who is left with almost no money and very low numbers. If she lives up her low expectations, there is no rational (yeah, I know) explanation for her to continue. Who else do you think is out after tonight?

Not according to this poll from today: sufrommich Jan 2012 #13

yes, you're right SaintPete Jan 2012 #26

He won't go anywhere and should quit now. He has no chance at all. AlinPA Jan 2012 #19

All good reasons for him to stay in the race SaintPete Jan 2012 #23

But the republicans reject him for those reasons, so he is a non-issue. AlinPA Jan 2012 #24

Some reject him, but his sanity needs to be infused into that party SaintPete Jan 2012 #29

It's a shame that the US has fallen so low that one party can only run extremists and morons. AlinPA Jan 2012 #31

In other words, he can't possibly win because he isn't bat-shit crazy. eom tledford Jan 2012 #33

I hope it's Bachmann who drops out. Life Long Dem Jan 2012 #7

Bachmann would be the logical choice, but I think she'll stay in onenote Jan 2012 #8
