We will see people drop out after New Hampshire. There have been many examples of a candidate winning NO delegates in IOWA and still going on to win the parties nomination.

Case in point: Huckabee won in 2008 with 34% of the vote, McCain got 13%.

And If IIRC, John Edwards beat out Hillary clinton for the #2 position.

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
