I hope that none of the Candidates drop out

And don't let the MSM tell us the race is over, etc.

Let the process continue.

I want a choice of 4 or 5 Democrats to choose from on February 5th.

I was sickened in 2004 when candidates were being cajoled after poor showings in IA and NH. Let the process unfold, let's have a well tested candidate.

light the fire, and keep it lit.

but sadly, that's what they are. Lately, it seems like the media has put so much focus on Iowa and New Hampshire, they make it sound like if you don't win at least one of those states, the campaign is over.

Of course, the candidates spend so much time in those states and all but ignore the other states, so voters in the other states are vulnerable to just following the crowd rather than thinking for themselves.

But really, what's right for Iowa isn't necessarily right for Arizona and what works in New Hampshire doesn't necessarily work in Rhode Island.

In 2004, there were 8 candidates at the Iowa caucus. After Super Tuesday, only three remained (and two of them were Kucinich and Sharpton). But I think even viable candidates like Dean and Clark dropped out before Super Tuesday.

The media will tell us the race is over for Edwards. They will forget there are five other candidates running - completely marginalize the campaigns. They've always wanted the Democratic primary to be a two person race, they aren't going to give up now.

I believe Dean skipped the next round of primaries and competed in later ones. Clark, though, competed the next week in Tennessee.
