Reply #5: Gephardt is going to hang on

He's definitely not getting out before South Carolina. That's kind of mini-Super Tuesday this year.

Everyone that goes into New Hampshire will stay on for that the week after. Then, maybe they will drop out. Chances are most of them will stubbornly continue to campaign straight into March. It's only wasting a month of their life anyway.

There are four people who can win: Dean, Clark, Kerry, Edwards. (I'm not ready to call Edwards out just yet). The latter two aren't getting much attention lately but Clark won't have the spotlight forever. Eventually the media will start covering the actual contest again.

I'm rooting for Dean in this one. Hopefully, he'll pull through.
