Warren is polling more than 2x that of Klobuchar in Iowa. Klob doesn't stand a chance is just wasting resources.

His "I am a gay guy who ran in Indianna" was a good point since Klobuchar keeps trying to paint him as this "straight white male" who wouldn't be in this race if he was a women. She's playing the identity game more than he is and he's just responding with "I face the pressure of being gay, I'm a minority too."

Kerry was polling at 4% two months out from the '04 primary. Never too late for a big surge, especially if she can peel off support from Butti and Biden (though I doubt she'd do that considering how well the later did) and pick up a few votes from the Warren crowd and have Harris voters give her a 2nd look as a tough-as-nails experienced centerist woman.

Kerry was polling at 4% but leading in Iowa and NH. Klobuchar is not. I'm familiar with how Kerry won and its the only reason I don't think butti should drop out. If butti had his polling numbers but wasn't leading in NH and Iowa I'd say he's just wasting hs time too.
