    i quit watching the democratic debates when Webb dropped out. No point in watching anyway when we all know who the nominee is.

    That's true BN, and at the same time especially in a very simpatico setting, the Hill could've cheekily chirped "sorry everyone, but I had to powder my nose" and she would've been given a laughing pass from the fraternal assemblege as well.

    Hillary wouldn't share the (multi-stalled) bathroom with Martin O'Malley staffer Lis Smith and waited (damned the commercial break) until the coast was clear before dropping pants suit 'trou' :) . . . Not surprisingly the NYT (carrying water for the DNC-gilded front runner) excused it as it involving a long hike compared to the men's room.

    As for 'fair game' they're all fair game in my book....all open to mocking, lampooning and yes, flat out insulting them if I wish (granted, I'm retarded like that). Moreover, none of these characters deserve any fawning rock star treatment let alone on the basis of partisanship which holds doubly true for me since I'm not a registered member of any political party.

    They're all fair game, sacred cows included. ; )

    No. He's been done since he started; he just finally made it official.

    Bullshit. You can't even check all the boxscores in five minutes.

    i'm a pretty simple person and don't get involved in politics but always thought the fair tax movement made a lot of sense.
    no income tax and a flat federal sales tax on goods and services. too simple to work i guess?

    Flat taxes sound nice, but they are inherently regressive.

    It's pretty sad that even Christie is ahead of him now. Jeb! should pack it up.

    I really wish Jeb would drop out already. He is what he is. A moderate Republican candidate that has no charisma what so ever. He's just wasting space and time that could be going to someone who actually has a chance to win.

    Lindsey Graham
    Bobby Jindal
    Rick Perry
    Scott Walker
    George Pataki


    The "why are you still running?" list:
    John Kasich
    Jim Gilmore <---who? !
    Rick Santorum
    Mike Huckabee


    leftover (including a lot of "why are you running in the first place?") candidates:
    Marco Rubio
    Donald Trump
    Ted Cruz
    Rand Paul
    Ben Carson
    Chris Christie
    Jeb Bush
    Carly Fiorina

    Coincidentally, along with Pataki, four of the five candidates to drop out of the Republican race have been governors.

    Bush should follow suit.

    Makes you wonder how Mitt Romney would do against that field.

    Bush has name recognition, money and organization. He's going to hang in there as long as possible to see if he can be the tallest midget when Trump runs his course.

    The race is going to come down to two people, Marco Rubio and Ted Cruz.
