One thing's for sure: Mitt Romney will not be the GOP nominee. He is and will be viewed as a financial pedator.

Only Romney and Ron Paul have the money. Romney gets his from Wall Street. Paul gets his from Main Street.

There are only three (3) candidates with sustainable campaign funds thus far: Romney, Perry and Paul.
Santorum got a "surge" of $1M last week while Ron Paul the week before got $5.5M. Gingrich is also hurting. But were it not for his "dad" funding his PAC, John Huntsman wouldn't have even made it to/through New Hampshire. So he's the most logical to go next.
Perry and Gingrich are going to go after it and each other in South Carolina, with Santorum "hoping" for some crumbs down there. But again, only Perry has the money to do the necessary ads, mailings, etc. of those three.

Oops, in regards to my previous comment: Rick Santorum

He doesn't have any money.

Ron Paul will not drop out. He is the only candidate who differs from the rest.

Banker-Backed Romney - or U.S. Troops-backed Ron Paul ?
Those are the facts.
If radio stations would broadcast it - this would be another Reaganesque landslide victory for The People's President!
Let's Go America!
Let's Go Ron Paul!

Santorum is definitely out next - he has no real support, and his anti-freedom big government history is starting to catch up with him. Huntsman probably next, followed by Rick Perry.

Bogus. Just look at who has the least campaign funds. Huntsman is the most likely to drop out either before or after SC.

Mauibrad of DC 4:14PM January 09, 2012

Romney should drop out as he is a RINO. Wishful thinking of course.
If the Republicans do not reform themselves we will be in for another Dole or McInsane failed run.
Guess you have to use vote fraud to get a RINO in...
Ron Paul!
