Who will be the 1st to drop out?

[Erose999]

Its getting to be that time, the money is starting to dry up and the skeletons are coming out of the closet. The field of candidates is just too big and one of these buttholes isn't going to make it through November.

Romney: He's on top for now but the Teabagger voters don't really like him.

Perry: Poor performance at debates, HPV vaccine debacle, Ni**erhead ranch, Birther-ism, losing ground fast to Cain & Romney

Cain: Allegations of sexual harassment, lack of organizing, was on the board at the Fed, trailing Romney and Perry in funding, weird campaign ads.

Bachmann: Entire NH staff quit, trailing in fundraising.

Gingrich: Was he ever really in it to start with other than to sell his awful historical fiction novels?

Santorum: Lack of fundraising, his supporters can't even Google him in public space.

Ron Paul: Lack of fundraising, batshit crazy Ayn Randian ideas, resemblance to cult leader, annoying cultist followers.

Gary Johnson: Has anyone called his people to see if he's still in it? I mean he might have quit already....

Huntsman: Association with Obama and China, lack of fundraising, lack of crazy Teabagger platforms.

1. Huntsman... he's blowing his own money!

[Kolesar]

2. Whatever respect I had for "the Fed" just vanished

Herman Cain. ... Chairman of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City. In office 1995–1996

3. They all seem to be making a mad dash to the exit door

Somene will surely get trampled and therefore be the last one out of the door. Or, in other words, the Republican nominee.

4. Who the hell is Gary Johnson? nt

[Frank Cannon]

5. Pro-pot, quasi-Libertarian ex-Governor of New Mexico.

The only candidate to have climbed Mt. Everest.

Still a corporate whore, though.

6. Who cares? They're all the same. They hate the 99%. nt

[LWolf]

7. Other: Don't care. nt

8. Santorum

He has gained no traction. I don't think his heart is really in it. He's getting no media attention.

In the end it'll be Perry, Romney, Paul and one of the other Tealiban candidates. Hopefully after Bachmann or Cain drop out, one of their supporters will convince them to run as a 3rd party candidate.

9. I think it'll be Man-on-Dog or Perry . MB's book comes out next month. One teabagger group has asked

Bachmann to quit but the guy who runs it is a big Perry supporter.

I think Bachmann is really in it for the grift, to get some publicity for her book and for Marcus' exgay business. But she'll hang on for another month or two to do the book tour.

I think the sharks are circling Santorum. I think Santorum in the water will draw them even more than blood....

Perry is one bad move away from being written off by the media. Remember when Howard Dean said "WOOOOOO!!!11!1"? Well replace Dean with Rick Perry in that scenario, and replace "WOOOOO!!!1!11" with something offensive and probably racially charged.

This race is all about Mammon, and he's getting hungry for a new sacrifice.
