Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin has concluded he no longer has a path to the Republican presidential nomination and plans to drop out of the 2016 campaign, according to three Republicans familiar with his decision, who spoke on condition of anonymity.

Mr. Walker called a news conference in Madison at 6 p.m. Eastern time.

“The short answer is money,” said a supporter of Mr. Walker’s who was briefed on the decision. “He’s made a decision not to limp into Iowa.”

1. wow. He will

8. No, still 16...Jim Gilmore is apparently still running.

12. LOL at Jim Gilmore. He's the shower curtain mildew of the GOP.

3. He wanted out before his numbers got into the minus.

Hard to compete at 0% but -10 would have been worse.

4. Found a election he couldn't steal. nt

5. News conference ahead.

He was the Koch bros choice. Whoare they buying next?

6. I thought the Kochs were prepared to invest $2B on the election and HE WAS THEIR GUY!

Whatever the reason is for him baling, I couldn't be happier!

7. How can the short answer be money? I thought he was the Koch's widdle bad boy.

He just doesn't want to be publicly embarrassed, that's all.

Glad to see it happen. He's a loser all the way around. The only enjoyment I got out of him was when someone pretended to be one of the Koch bros on that infamous phone call. It was well worth the chuckle--how he fell for it and all but spilled his brains into the phone. I still LOL whenever I think of that call.

9. LOL.

10. So...to make this fit GD-P I'll ask: Which Dem candidate is this most likely to help?

11. KOCH BROTHERS' tool

Goes down in flames! Goods riddance, you POS!

[hifiguy]

13. Out like a bad fart in a crowded elevator.

Did he quit or did the Kochs fire him?

14. Glad I'm not a gambling gal

My money would have been on Graham, Santorum or Jindhal to drop out next. I think this means some legal shit is about to hit the fan for Scottie. He probably thinks he can spend his PAC money on attorney's fees.
