You obviously do not know much about Republican politics. Bush's campaign is going nowhere. He has blown a fortune and the votes he received in Iowa cost him more than $2.800 each.

I expect Kasich to do pretty well in New Hampshire because he has spent much more time there than most of the other candidates. He seems to do pretty well with small crowds. However, he has staked his entire campaign on doing well in New Hampshire and any finish worse than a strong 4th place will be a big disappointment for him.

Unless Bush or Kasich shocks everybody and finishes in 3rd place in NH, neither one will enter SC with much money or momentum. IMO, the race is already down to Cruz, Rubio, and Trump. Everybody else seems to have been focusing almost entirely on Iowa and/or New Hampshire instead of building a national organization.

When a party nominates a weak candidate, no amount of money can win the election. Regardless of who Republicans nominate, the nominee will be facing a very weak candidate in November.

No question. My hope is that Trump and Cruz are about done running over each other and Rubio's Mo will begin to fade. He is unquestionably the fall back nominee for the establishment types who were goofy enough to bank the whole roll on Jeb.
