Do you all think any Dem will drop out?

I'm sorry for Biden and Dodd, and of course, my guy Kucinich. And Richardson, but I think he did himself in in the debates. Thoughts?

1. I think Biden may hang in until NH

Kucinich will probably have to stop due to finances. Dodd, I think, has already indicated that he'll leave the race if he doesn't place in Iowa.

2. I think we'll lose a couple of the 2nd tier candidates shortly

But the top 3 are all in for the long haul.

4. I think so too.

Just wondering what others might think will happen in the next few days.

5. I think Dodd will go first

I feel bad for him and for Biden - though neither were my first choice, I like them both very much. I agree with you about Richardson - he didn't do well in the debates, and I didn't find him likable. I suspect all three will be out soon.

6. Biden said he would drop out if he came in fifth. Dodd must be thinking of dropping out. As far as I

see it, Kucinich effectively dropped out when endorsed Obama so far ahead of the caucus.

I think Dennis was conceding Iowa. I'm hoping he stays in and gets some delegates to the National Convention to influence the platform.

7. Biden and Dodd are done.

How the hell did Biden finish behind Richardson? It's time to say goodbye.

9. That is a headscratcher.

I thought Biden was making some noise there in the 2nd tier.

12. Yeah, me too....

Pretty wild. I saw CNN call that he had 2% early on and then suddenly it was gone and Richardson had it. I thought if he could get into the ABC debate it might be ok that Iowa was a bust, but.....now....I really don't know what to think or who to throw my support behind if Biden drops out.

15. Tough one.

I feel for ya. I'm a Kucinich guy, who's obviously going to have to go Edwards when my primary rolls around in August.

16. I originally was for Obama earlier this year, I have my T-shirt

in the closet, guess I will break it out again. I'm going with Obama. Biden is a fabulous guy, hope he is in a Dem cabinet.

13. I agree

It's almost certain they'll hold on unless they want to make a big splash before Iowa.

14. Biden and Dodd will probably fold.

Richardson may stay in it thru Super Tuesday, but I think it'll be a 3-way, all the way.
