7. I dunno.
It's interesting. I think it could be a while before anyone else drops out. I mean, Kucinich, Sharpton, and Braun surely realize they don't have any chance in hell of getting the nomination or even the VP spot, but somehow I think that they're all in this for the long haul. Maybe out of spite, maybe they're just that bitter, or maybe they just like the attention.

At this point I don't think that Gephardt or Edwards has much of a chance either, but think that perhaps they refuse to acknowledge this themselves. I mean, I think Gephardt really thinks he has a chance (or at least he did), but c'mon, who's he kidding?

Anyways, while the Kucinich, Braun, and Sharpton should already know they're hopeless cases they'll continue to run anyways just for the spite of it, but I think that Gephardt'll be the next to drop out as soon as he realizes his cause is doomed.

I think Edwards'll hang around in hope of securing the VP nomination (this may be Gephardt's plan too). And yeah, I also think Lieberman still has a shot at the nomination.
