Romney obviously probably is way out front right now, mostly because he is the only person anyone living in reality thinks can beat Obama, although he and Obama are essentiallly the same person so I dont know why it matters.
Santorum will run out of steam because he cant carry a non-bible thumping state.
Ron Paul is DOA after Iowa, his negative numbers in the GOP are way too high. He really needed momentum from Iowa and failed to get it. May run as an independant though to ensure an Obama victory.
Perry, apparently Combat Mage was his only supporter, went back to Texas to "reassess him campaign" and quit before he wastes any more money.
Michele Bachman isnt as smart as Perry, she will continue to waste money (for now). Shes toast though.
Gingrich, I think the next set of primary states are critical for him, he has to show well in South Carolina.
Huntsman, should have at least showed his face in Iowa.
Wrong about those two.

Well when I was posting it this morning Bachmann was still going to soldier on..
Also not sure what you mean by the Huntsman thing. He should have campaigned in Iowa at least some, I think it hurt him not to.

I will vote for Romney because so many don't want him. I love seeing people get mad about politics.

But Romney won't win the general election so it really hurts Republicans to vote for him, but like has been said, Obama and Romney are close enough to the same that it doesn't matter.

its also been shown that Paul wont, but you still support him so its really no different.

Paul adds a dynamic to the election that hasn't been seen in decades. Romney is just a regular GOP candidate who will continued the same failed policies as both the Obama and Bush administrations. There's no doubt in my mind that Paul would draw a significant number of Liberals and Moderates who are jaded by Obama's assault on our civil liberties.

Romney is another big gubment tyrant. I'd be reluctant to vote for him if he got the nom.
Right now Romney is sitting in the Reagan seat. He may not be the ideal choice of most of his party, but he is most certainly 1000x better than what is sitting in the White House at the time. It won't matter if Conservatives think he isn't conservative enough. It won't matter if he is a Mormon and thus scares a portion of his base. So long as they can keep Ron Paul from running independent and acting as a spoiler Romney would be a fairly easy Republican win. Just so long as he doesn't have 3 living wives or 1 dead hooker somewhere in his closet.
if Ron Paul could not eek out something stronger than a meager and weak third place finish in a caucus he will be in single digits in an actual Primary state where it is harder to concentrate his hardened supporters.
Santorum pulled out a surprise in Iowa, but it took everything he had to do it, and there is very little chance of him doing it again. Yeah he is a strong "social issues" candidate. But you can only take that so far this year. I think his support was more a "go home byotch" to Bachmann than it was a show of support. Once again he will not do well in a general primary. He just doesn't have a sufficient machine in enough states.
Bachmann is done. She should never have been there to begin with. Every word out of her mouth was whiny amateur hour. she has no executive leadership experience and no clue. She proved herself a complete and foolish narcissist and probably set back women in politics for at least several election cycles.
Perry is done. He has already retreated to Texas.
Huntsman was never ever in the game, ever.

Which is fine and dandy, but it doesnt change the fact that Paul cant win. His own party wont even vote for him.
