Poll question: Who will drop out tomorrow?
Who will drop out after tomorrow's primaries in TN and VA?

7. OK, I'm not sure either one will drop out but if I had to choose
I would say Clark will. I think he will have a bad performance tomorrow and might consider calling it quits.

8. Reverend Al will call it a day tomorrow
Even though the media whores have all but ignored his connection to the Republican operatives who planned the "Brooks Brothers Riot" in Miami (2000), Sharpton's running out of hot air, and he hasn't wired Hell for any reinforcement.

9. Neither
Both will continue to cancel each other out in the South and let Kerry run free to the nomination. This really needs to be a 2 man race at this point if we're going to get a candidate that truly reflects our WHOLE country.

10. Whichever does not get 15%.
If neither do, then both may.

11. My guess is neither.
Though I do wish Edwards would go. I'm sure Edwards people feel the same way.

19. Nice try.
Your guy's entire campaign has been built on undermining Edwards.

13. Neither.
Look how long it took Lieberman to read the writing on the wall.
If they quit, they have to do something like a real job.

17. Lieberman stayed in, at least in part, to limit his indebtedness
by staying until he did he was eligible for matching funds which would offset encumbrances by the campaign.

Nothing ignoble about playing the game to take care of your staff, creditors (if there were any) etc.

14. I don't think either of them will drop out
But if any of them did, it would be Clark.

16. Yep.

If Clark loses both states, and drops out, he will have regained some of the respect I had for him before he started campaigning.

24. Well, let's hope he regains your respect.
That is, after all, one his goals in running for prez.

25. That's so funny! Because
I was thinking just the exact opposite!

Edwards should, but probably won't.

20. I hope nobody drops out.
I want to see a brokered convention. I think that remains more likely if more candidates are still in the race.

I know Kucinich is not dropping out.

21. Neither
Edwards wants to keep a high profile for next election and possible VP bid.

Clark, too. And I get the sense he's hanging on for a while. He's prety well connected, as well, and he is, after all, a Rhodes Scholar. (That ain't quite Mason or Skull & Bones, but they tend to do well): http://politicalgraveyard.com/special/rhodes-scholars.html

22. Neither
Clark's gonna stay until at least March 2. Don't know about Edwards. Guess it may depend on money.

Dennis and Sharpton will.

28. I can't vote...
because neither one will drop out tomorrow...if anyone bows out next it will be Dean, not that I want anybody to drop out, but this point in time, Clark and Edwards are not going anywhere...

30. not immediately

I think Edwards will linger on for another week or two, Clark end it with Wisconsin. March 2 is simply too much for them.
