Weird.  Double tapped, but roo_ster managed to get in the middle.

The dead weight needs to exit the race.
I never rendered an opinion to the best candidate.

You can't be that much of a drama queen, can you?

No moreso than someone advocating, after the VERY FIRST OFFICIAL VOTE, that every other candidate but the top two in that particular election ought to drop out of the whole primary race...

The person pulling 3rd place, a mere 12.5% below the vote numbers for the two leads in that election (again, Paul at 21.4%/26.2K versus Romney and Santorum at 24.5%/30.0K each), does not constitute any reasonable definition of "dead weight".  Hell, I'd say that those with any respectable vote totals (Newt with 13%, Perry with 10%, both well into the 5-figure vote counts; less than that would make me wonder if it was worth continuing, personally) ought to think hard before deciding they're done on the basis of this one election.

If believing that, and wanting to support the only candidate in the race who actually acts in accordance with the Constitution, makes me a "drama queen" in others' eyes?  Well, I guess I'll wear that label proudly.

Enough with the nicknames.
