Who's Next? To drop out.

[coloradodem2005]

My money is on Lieberman. For those who have said that Dean has peaked too soon, Lieberman really peaked too soon. Like right when he entered due to name recognition. I think right after New Hampshire, he's out.

1. Momentum-wise, Lieberman

The others, if they do ok in NH, will continue, but Lieberman is dead in the water if he does poorly.

5. I'd say Lieberman, too.

I think Sharpton will stay in for a while.

7. Not sure

I think Joe will stick around out of spite. I think realistically Joe, DK, and AS need to wrap it up. Some statistics can't be beaten. Someone last night posted these two graphics as an example of where Joe stands. I'll do the same. Kinda sad, kinda funny.

ON EDIT: The first one is from http://www.joe2004.com and the second is from http://www.clark04.com

11. Liberman, then Kucinich.

[ShaneGR]

12. Lieberman, then Dean after Feb. 3rd

Dean won't win NH, and he won't win a single state (of 7) on Feb. 3rd.

19. Why's that? Did the DLC install Diebold machines in all those states?

You can't wish Dean away that easy.

Lieberman will be gone after New Hampshire.

13. Back in the day, things were great

Lieberman definitely had a lead back in the day, but that was pretty much before everyone else entered the race. Oh well. With Edwards doing so well in Iowa, poor Joe L may come in 5th and that will need to be it. The paper endorsement yestrady helped, but it doesn't look good.

14. Lieberman

22. Kucinich will go to convention

Kucinich: This Will Go to Convention
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
January 19, 2004

Democratic Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich had been showing at 3 percent in the polls in Iowa, but topped 15 percent or more in many precincts in order to win 1.3 percent of the total delegates. Had he failed to top a surprising 15 percent, Kucinich would have finished with zero delegates as expected. The polls did little better at predicting the results for the other candidates in the Iowa caucuses, and tonight's results may have raised more questions than they answered about the final outcome of the Democratic nominating process.

"This is the beginning of the campaign," said Kucinich. "We've got 49 states left to go. The media had long ago predicted the winner of the entire process and even the loser of the general election, and tonight's caucuses have the pundits scratching their collective scalps in bewilderment. I moved from ninth place to fifth and won delegates despite the 15 percent threshold.

"The longtime poll leader dropped to third, which some pundits are erroneously crediting to Dr. Dean's status as an anti-war candidate. Dr. Dean did not consistently oppose the initial stages of this war and he has said that he will keep our troops in Iraq for years.

"As I climb higher in New Hampshire and each successive state, and as the situation in Iraq continues to worsen, Democratic support for peace will be reflected in my campaign's success. I predict a brokered convention in July. By the end of this month my campaign will have raised over $10 million, including matching funds, and I'm just getting started.

"As part of my strategy in the Iowa caucuses, I worked out an arrangement with Senator Edwards that may have allowed each of us to pick up a few more delegates. Our supporters, of course, ultimately chose their own courses of action. But none were left with their only strategic choice being leaving their caucus and going home. John and I are friends and I wish him the best. But we have 49 states left to go, and we're each on our own."

23. Nope, yep, nope

Lieberman is the only one of those three that will only drop out anytime soon.

Kucinich and Sharpton got almost no votes in Iowa, but they are still in the race. They didn't expect to do very well and met those expectations. They are going to milk the spotlight as long as they can.

Lieberman is shooting to win some primaries in February. If he doesn't, expect to see him drop out.
