Thanks! Politics is probably a top 5 spectator event for me.

Iowa poll last week of all 16 announced and unannounced candidates:
1. Walker 17%
2. Paul 10%
-- Carson 10%
4. Bush 9%
-- Huckabee 9%
6. Rubio 6%
-- Santorum 6%
8. Cruz 5%
9. Christie 4%
-- Trump 4%
11. Perry 3%
12. Fiorina 2%
--- Kasich 2%
14. Graham 1%
--- Jindal 1%
16. Pataki less than 1%
That only adds up to 90% but that's what the article has.

How many threads do we need for this?

Well there's a thread on most of the 9 candidates announced far, and will probably be a half doz more after the next 7+ announceme. There's a thread with a poll to guess the number of Republicans that run for the nomination. There wasn't a thread on just the primaries in general.

Updated with Perry as the 10th declared candidate with yesterday's announcement.

In other news Christie is done (if he wasn't already):

I think the field will be down to 3, maybe 4 after the SC primaries.

Especially if one of the moderates wins SC.

Man,
Tax payers covering his lap band surgery doesn't seem to be working
I wonder if Obama Care coverage would have gotten him a better doctor..?


You can keep your doctor (Not)

Really, you are judging him because he looks like this in a softball uniform?

That might be a vagina...

I'd vote for Kim Jong Un before Hillary. He's less capable of destroying America.

Sadly that is actually true
but do not confuse "potential" with any predicted outcome - things can change
(they won't) but they can
but they won't



but they can...

Rubio is West Coooaaast!
