This is so surprising. It was just a matter of time before his campaign took off and reached 2% in a major national poll.
I think Pataki's departure leaves eleven in the race (Gilmore seems like he's out).
Obviously, the winners of the last two Iowa caucuses (cauci?), Santorum and Huckabee, are waiting for Iowa - or maybe they'll drop out right before Iowa if internal polling suggests an embarrassing result.
For a bunch of others - Kasich, Paul, Fiorina and Christie - they're hoping for lightning to strike in Iowa or New Hampshire, or it's over.
For Carson, I suspect disappointing results will take him out after New Hampshire as well - maybe even after Iowa.
The others I suspect are already setting up for the expensive and difficult run up to Super Tuesday.
