View Full Version : Predict the next "dropouts"

Maybe Rudy Giuliani, Ron Paul, John Edwards, Fred Thompson...
The question is whom and when (including what state they end in) ? I'm sure many wonder about Giuliani if he can't win Florida for example :o
At what point do they reach a primary and say "Ok there is no chance, time to bow out gracefully." ?
One more question as well:
What kind of gain/loss do you think the remaining candidates will have from particular dropouts?
Example: If Thompson is out, does Huckabee gain support? Or Edwards drops out, does Obama or Hilary gain support? ETC...

Fred Thompson-- if not tomorrow, then after Florida.
John Edwards-- after Super Tuesday
Ron Paul-- He's in it until the convention.
Rudy Giuliani-- He may very well be out after Florida if he does poorly. If not, he'll be out after Super Tuesday, especially if he's destroyed, which I think will happen.

Huckabee would have gained some massive support if Thompson dropped out earlier. But it's too late now that he's lost South Carolina, it was his make it or break it state.
McCain would likely benefit the most from a Giuliani drop out, followed by Romney.
Obama would benefit from Edwards and Kucinich dropping out.

Kucinich won't drop out. He'll be in it until the very end, just like last time.

Agreed. Kucinich is in until the convention, though it matters not.

It'd probably help if I didn't drink before browsing the Hype. My bad.

Kucinich's people would probably not go to anyone, frankly. Most of them are late-middle-aged hippies who want to spend their lives smoking pot all day while dressing in raggedy hemp pants and Grateful Dead t-shirts from the 1970s. Once Kucinich is done, they'll probably be done, too. Most of them won't take the time to read up on any of the other candidates because, quite frankly, who has time to do that when you can be lighting a bowl instead?

You're right:
Today I have withdrawn my candidacy for President of the United States. I hope that my country and my party have benefited from our having made this effort. Jeri and I will always be grateful for the encouragement and friendship of so many wonderful people.
Giuliani will stay in for as long as he can help Huckabee and ensure a spot in his administration as VP or Attorney General.
Edwards could stay til the end. He did it in 2004, despite not having a shot. But I personally think he is trying to get a spot in the Clinton administration as his presence is hurting Obama.

I think that's changing, and it makes sense to do that. Why not offer the position to someone who already has a lot of name recognition nationally? That's why I think Kerry picked Edwards in 2004, and why Edwards or Obama would be seriously considered by the Clinton campaign.
I don't think Edwards will take another VP slot, but that's just me. Anything can happen with these things, so it wouldn't surprise me. Of course, if he loses again, does he want to be remembered for losing the Vice Presidency twice? I think that's a little more humiliating than the Presidency in some respects.
I also don't think he'll be in the convention until the end. He's very far behind in the delegate count, and if he is making a deal with Hillary like CNN has been suggesting, it wouldn't surprise me if-- on February 6-- he drops out and endorses her if the number two spot is guaranteed (but alas, that's all speculation, and I wouldn't agree with it personally).

-Giuliani will probably win Florida and then go on I'm almost positive, he's go too much money to not get far, the only reason he's been doing poorly in the early states is because he knows he won't win, therefore he does't campaign there...It'll be him and Romney as the last two cantidates for the Republican nomination, mark my words...

Right now both Romney and McCain have the momentum due to their victories and that is what this race has come down to. Romney has the advantage with money and McCain has the advantage with reputation.

No. There are three polls that are releveant and SurveyUSA is a garbage poll. The other two polls done in Florida have Romney with the same margin of lead. 5%
The Economy is the issue in Florida - and that is the issue Romney is nailing every candidate with. It makes since that he surges as the media tells more tales of the failing economy.

Oh come on, you're just being far too biased towards Romney. Just like I'm being biased against Romney because I hate that douche.
Personally I think McCain will come out on top in Florida, but I ain't betting on it because it's just too close right now. Polls put McCain on top , Romney on top, or in second or in third for both of them. The fact is that this is going to be a close three way race between McCain, Romney, and Giuliani.
McCain has an advantage because of a positive reputation, the races he won give better momentum, and the media is placing him in the frontrunner status.
Romney has an advantage because he's in the lead in delegates, he has the money, and he's better at delivering the economy message.
Polls right now just can't be too reliable because the race is just far too close, the results are placing the three in different positions, and it all really depends on who you ask. Remember in New Hampshire, Obama was expected to win by a rather good margin but Hillary won. Or in Nevada where Romney was expected to win by a decent margin but ended up ass raping the competition and Ron freaking Paul came in second.

Probably. But I am not irrational. I have polls and trends backing up what I am saying.
It is not a coincidence that two leading polls have Romney skyrocketing just as the economy is becoming THE issue of the election.
Personally I think McCain will come out on top in Florida, but I ain't betting on it because it's just too close right now. Polls put McCain on top , Romney on top, or in second or in third for both of them. The fact is that this is going to be a close three way race between McCain, Romney, and Giuliani.
McCain has an advantage because of a positive reputation, the races he won give better momentum, and the media is placing him in the frontrunner status.
I would argue advantage sits in Romney's quarter in Florida. With Thompson dropping out and Huckabe giving up in the state there sits a lot of free-floating Conservative voters. I am banking on them siding with Romney.
McCain has won his states based on moderates, independents, democrats and veterans.
The moderate vote is split in Florida.
Independents and Democrats can't vote.
Veterans are already sided with McCain.
As Thompson and Huckabee's voters jump shift - I expect Romney's lead to become more solid.
Romney has an advantage because he's in the lead in delegates, he has the money, and he's better at delivering the economy message.
He is better at delivering the economy message because he is the economy candidate. McCain won't beat Romney in an election that comes down to economics - Michigan proved that.
Polls right now just can't be too reliable because the race is just far too close, the results are placing the three in different positions, and it all really depends on who you ask. Remember in New Hampshire, Obama was expected to win by a rather good margin but Hillary won. Or in Nevada where Romney was expected to win by a decent margin but ended up ass raping the competition and Ron freaking Paul came in second.
Thats why its important to look beyond the polls.
The climate is right for Romney in Florida. The winds couldn't be any greater at Romney's back. He is the last "Conservative" standing. McCain has real competition as the moderate candidate. And the economy is the feature article on every news show.

If McCain sweeps the Super Tuesday states, Romney or Huckabee could very well drop out.
Hillary and Obama will stay in until the very end, unless one of them is way far ahead in the delegate count and it therefore wouldn't be feasible to continue on. But I don't see that happening.

I think Huckabee will be the next one to drop out followed by Romney. Paul will stay until the very end but it's not like he's going to really win anything. He'll stay in to promote his message to the American people.
Even though Gravel hasn't dropped out, does he really count as a candidate anymore?

I'm not so sure. I think that one of the two is going to come out with a clear lead in the delegate count after Feb. 5. And since I think McCain is going to emerge as the de facto Republican nominee on Tuesday, I think the party establishment is going to pressure the "loser" into dropping out.

If Hillary leads substantially, I wouldn't be surprised if she announces a Clinton/ Obama ticket the next day. It would end the primary, unite the party, and would immediately place all press attention on the Democrats. But that's wishful thinking, I guess.
However, if neither one of them has a clear lead, then it will go on, and won't be over until the last of the big states are decided.

Nominating the Huckleberry as VP could backfire heavily for McCain. He could scare away the moderates he needs to win. He would also deliver the Dems a fighting tactic on the silver plater, since all they would need to do is attack Huck's comments on the constitution and use his controversies as a lever against McCain. Guilty by association would be the motto.

Huckabee won't be Attorney General. That's most likely going to be Giuliani's spot and I think Christ will end up being the Vice President.

Two things:

2) Huckabee has absolutely no qualifications whatsoever to become Attorney General. If you think Rudy would have a tough time getting confirmed by the Senate, Huckabee stands no chance. The Senate WILL NOT let a man with zero experience in law take on the number one legal job in the country.

I'm amazed that Romney can say that they're going to go on yet he's getting his ass kicked by McCain and Huckabee.

Romney is one of the most disillusioned candidates ever. I bet he'll say he won the silver but he'll go on to win the gold.

He can't even say he won the Silver. He lost the South to Huckabee and the big delegate states went to McCain.

Hmmm, he's got more delegates than Huckleberry according to CNN

Well, he's an idiot, so he might even say he won the whole thing.

Those were from past contests. So far tonight he's only won Massachusetts, North Dakota, and Utah. He'll most likely win some more midwestern states tonight, but Romney's showing tonight was pathetic.
John McCain had a good showing by winning delegate rich winner take all states of New York, New Jersey, Arizona, and Illinois along with Delaware, Conneticut, and Oklahoma.
Though I think Mike Huckabee had the most impressive showing with his wins in Alabama, Arkansas, and West Virginia along with his good showings and likely victories in Tennesse and Georgia. Sure he won't win the nomination, but maybe we called him off too soon.

Which is sad, I would have loved to see him crash and burn.
Looks like the Repubs are split in the middle. The American Taliban loves Huckabee, while the Moderate and Liberal Conservatives love McCain. I'm really curious what will happen if McCain wins the nomination.

Obama is doing just fine, I'm sure he'll catch up pretty soon.
