With Mitch Daniels out of the GOP presidential race, we’ve pretty much settled on a field, haven’t we? Discounting the vanity candidates, we have:
- Newt Gingrich
- Tim Pawlenty
- Mitt Romney
- Jon Huntsman
I suppose we’re also waiting for firm decisions from Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann, but assuming they decline to run it’s hard to see anyone other than Romney or Pawlenty winning. This is just a remarkably thin field.
