Even Jim Gilmore dropped out. Since New Hampshire, the GOP field has also shed Carly Fiorina and Chris Christie too. There are six candidates left.

Honestly, only five of them probably have a chance of winning the nomination that is statistically higher than 0 percent. Ben Carson, sixth of six, doesn’t have the money, the wits, the strategy, or personality to win. It’s not a stretch to say Carson has lower odds of winning the nomination than some non-candidates like Mitt Romney or Scott Walker (who could become the nominee through some bizarre twist of a brokered convention).
