Ed Kilgore Wants The Extraneous Candidates Gone

++Ed delights in the rumors that the kid's debate will disappear next time. He thinks it is high time for some of the candidates to be gone too.

++Ed sees no reason Huckabee and Santorum need to hang around. Cruz already has the religious right. George Pataki needs a rest. It seems Carly Fiorina's usefulness as someone who can criticize Hillary Clinton is over since everyone went after Hillary Clinton in Vegas. Lindsey Graham isn't even polling anywhere in his native state--let alone in Iowa and New Hampshire. Ed thinks Christie should give it a rest, although he has the Manchester Union-Leader's endorsement. Rand Paul doesn't even have his father's supporters. And Kasich can draw straws with Christie. Rand Paul's not going anyway and has to run for the Senate.

++Ed also urges Martin O'Malley to go, even though he represents a new generation. It's clear he polls as an afterthought. 

++Ed thinks Bush is done as Vox news made clear with their debate coverage with Frank Luntz' focus group which all greed he was desperate.

++In an earlier column today,Ed has some choice words for Marco Rubio. His Iowa ground game is non-existent and his New Hampshire campaign is annoying locals because he hasn't been around and is not seeking local endorsements. The Rubio campaign like Jeb's think the television ads will do it.
