New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is 8% in the Polls in his own Home State behind 3 other Candidates. The residents of New Jersey are calling for him to get out. Should he comply?

A few thoughts:
- The show is not over until the fat lady sings. The race for POTUS is a marathon not a sprint.
- We have not even had one state vote yet. Votes should drive elections not polls.
- Absent actual votes, the largest driving factor to stay in or get out of a race is funds. Obviously Governor Christie still has funds that he can spend on his campaign.
- "The residents of New Jersey are calling him out". Technically, this can be a minimum of two residents to get from singular to plural. How many residents are calling for Christie to get out and how are they making their desires known? That goes back to point #2 and #3 above. Let's let actual votes and funds drive the process and not potentially made up or fabricated media accounts, polls, or anything else.

Should he? Yes. Will he? Probably not until he sees that 8% drop to a zero.

Let's keep in mind, we are still very early in on this whole process. Things can happen and that sleeper candidate everyone ruled out might actually end up on the ballot; for better or worse.

It is time for all the candidates with low poll numbers and or who are not in agreement with their party platform to seriously consider stepping out of the race.
