So who's next?
At one time I thought Graham would still be standing in the final 6 after Lieberman, Sharpton, Braun, and Kucinich dropped out. But his campaign never took off.

so who's next to drop out, the logical pick would be Braun, but don't be surprised if it was Kucinich.

2. Not so fast on Kucinich
He surpassed his Q3 fundraising goal by over 10%, and his campaign is a lot larger than what the press wants to report. He's got more people signed up for MeetUp than Clark, and his grassroots support is growing-- especially among former third-party voters and disaffected Democrats.

It's sad to see Graham go, but it's getting a little crowded on the right with the entrance of Clark into the race.

3. Clark
Just call it a "mid-October" feeling.

5. Why would Clark drop out in a week or two?
When he's leading the pack?

9. He's not answering, which probably means...
...he expects the glorious socialist revolution to swell up and devour Clark...

...or maybe he just went to bed.

6. I thinkKucinich will stay in for a long while...
...probably until the convention - if only to keep the rest of them honest.

8. I think so too

Kucinich might not win, but he'll raise a lot of issues. And that can only be good.

7. No he doesn't
If you go to meetup.com, you'll see that Clark has twice as many meetup members as Kucinich.

Personally, I hope Kucinich stays in, at least till the next debate. He adds a lot to the dialog. And he's a smart guy.

But please check meetup.com to get your numbers straight. He does not have more meetup members than Clark. Clark's sizeable grassroots stem from all the people who wrote letters urging him to run during the draftclark campaign.

10. Well...
There are candidates who I WISH would drop out, but I wouldn't make any actual predictions yet about anybody. Graham is really the only one where I can say I saw it coming. It's too bad, because I really thought that he was bringing a lot to the discussion.

11. Graham learned plenty about 9/11 while on the Senate Intelligence Comm.

He couldn't discuss much of it for reasons of national security but I think there were revelations within the committee which prompted him to run. He will be able to advise a Democratic president of his findings.
