Thinning of the herd & predictions

• Thompson has dropped out, and his supporters will fall in behind Romney.
• Rudy will fight hard in Florida but lose to McCain. He will drop out soon after.
• Mitt will do well on Super Tuesday, and eventually ask Thompson to be his running mate.
• Edwards will hang in as long as possible, but will eventually bow out. His supporters will go with Obama, making the Democrat’s race even more interesting.

UPDATE: McCain was leading Romney in Florida. The gap closed as soon as Thompson withdrew.
