      - Bush and Kasich are both pretty lousy campaigners. -- nm - mara Feb 9, 17:51
      - Bush is the least scary choice -- nm - Bacon Feb 9, 17:40 2

  - Carson and Carly most likely -- nm - mr. plow Feb 9, 17:37
- someone(s) will but I hope not, I'd like to see as much GOP money as possible ground up in the nomination cycle - crash davis Feb 9, 17:26 2
  - primary money doesn't carry over to the general election anyway - mr. plow Feb 9, 17:28 1
    - I mean, I'd like to see money they were planning on spending on the general get diverted, dig into their pockets more - crash davis Feb 9, 17:29

      - Jeb has money. That's why he remains a factor. -- nm - David's iPad Feb 9, 17:28
      - combine Jeb and Rubio like the Constructicons and make a bigger meaner robot -- nm - Bacon Feb 9, 17:25 5
        
        they tried, but Jubio doesn't sit well with focus groups, and people were a bit confused about why they were constantly holding hands. -- nm - mafic Feb 9, 17:27 1

        yes? -- nm - Gilmore Feb 9, 17:31
- Gilmore has apparently said he's in for SC (we'll C). If Christie finished 6th, think he's done. -- nm - ty97 Feb 9, 17:18 1
  - the other candidates will pay Christie to stay in just so he can keep pummeling Rubio at the debates -- nm - mr. plow Feb 9, 17:20
