I ask because I don't understand where he thinks he is going to pick up momentum moving forward.

7. Where does he get the money to compete in those markets?
His fund-raising is going to suffer if he doesn't gain momentum tonight.

12. For one thing, he hasn't spent as much as the others
He'd better stay in!

13. Its all relative, he never had as much as the others to spend.

20. I know, but I still think he's being more careful
I haven't heard that he is running out of money.

3. I certainly hope not.
The primaries just started and not all voters are the same across the country. :shrug:

4. He won't, but he realistically has no chance, while Clinton could easily turn things around.

9. No. He's going to stay in this until the end, even if its just to provide cover for
Obama from the Clinton Machine. That's my take. No way JE wants to see the status quo back in the WH. I think he'll do whatever it takes to help Obama take HRC down. This really IS personal to him. My opinion only, mind you.

16. HELL NO. He's a rising star.
I feel like I am just getting to know him, he blew me away last time I heard him speak. I am undecided so far but he could steal the show, as far my vote and the people like me are concerned.

22. No, but it's crunch time
I think if it doesn't pick up with Nevada and especially South Carolina, it's over for him. I hope not, because I'd like to see him win, but this is how elections work these days.
