As the GOP presidential primary and caucus calendar nears its fourth month, a new survey indicates most Republicans would like to see Newt Gingrich and Ron Paul drop their bids for the nomination.
And a majority of Republicans questioned in a CNN/ORC International poll say their party's presidential nomination should be determined by the primaries and caucuses rather than at the GOP convention in Tampa, Florida in late August. But according to the survey, a majority of Republicans don't want Rick Santorum to end his campaign for the nomination.
Six out of ten Republicans say that Gingrich should drop out of the race, with 39% saying that the former House speaker should not end his bid. And 61% say Paul should drop out, with 36% saying that the longtime congressman from Texas should continue to campaign for the White House.

Neither one has a chance. They're hanging around hoping for a VP nod.
If 36% think Ron Paul should stay in the race, that's over 1/3. I'm early voting for him today.
Actually, I'm surprised that the poll doesn't show that Republicans want to re-elect Obama so he can be more flexible doing a lame duck term. It is left leaning CNN doing the poll after all.
I will vote for Ron Paul
