It seems to me neither South Carolina nor Nevada are Kasich Kountry

Meaning one of the others will move into second. I think TransRectalTed will take 1 or 2 in SC. I am less sure about what will happen in Nevada.

he'll have to weather headwinds in the South until the midwest begins to vote.

I'm kind of surprised at his appeal in NH but with Rubio starting to fall out he might just become the establishment dude du' jour.

I think the NH performance was a fluke. Guess I could be wrong.

He worked it very hard, spending more time there than in his home state (and Ohio is grateful!).

He's been running for VP; I've been saying this all along. He plans to promise to bring Ohio and all the still-somewhat-sane Republicans along (but he really thought he'd be running with Jeb!--with Ohio and Florida, they thought they could win)

Voters hope he's the "not Romney candidate" only to discover the new moving target simply sucks too. Eventually Romney took over and that was that. The question everyone has is who is Mitt Romney in this scenario...

attacking each other rather than focusing on our candidates. I hope they go to their convention without a true front-runner.

He has no money and no traction anywhere else. Looking at the polls for upcoming contests, it's pretty clear that it's Trump vs. Cruz from here on out. I'm not sure what happens with Rubio. If he can come back from the debate stumble, it might end up being a three man race but I really think it's the two crazies that will be duking it out.
