What does the Fox News Debate Mean for the DL Fantasy Pool?
Thanks to Roger Ailes, there are now two classes of GOP candidates. The Children’s Table Losers and the Prime Time Losers. I think it is safe to say that the longevity of the Children’s Table Losers has taken a hit. So who should be happy and who should be sad?

Turns out, with 4 in the Prime Time, I’m the winner of the Roger Ailes follies. Del Dem, Pandora and Newton, both with three did well. Prop Joe has two Prime Time Losers, and AQC is the Rick Perry of this round.
This boggles my mind. I always knew FOX was the puppet master of the GOP, but… sheesh. This is nuts. Roger Ailes controls 100% of the GOP primary. The Real Housewives of the GOP! (h/t to Dorian Grey! It is reality TV.)
Question for moving forward: how do you decide that a candidate is out? Is a candidate “suspending” a campaign but still holding on to delegates and having his/her name placed into nomination still in or out? I don’t care about the answer except that I’d rather it was decided ahead of time to avoid arguments.
(Having Santorum, I’m gonna need the ruling.)
Good point Steve. I think it should be when they endorse another candidate. That could create some drama if someone, clearly on their ass, becomes cranky and recalcitrant.
I’ve accepted defeat.
C’Mon. You have Bush, and Jindal could be a recalcitrant spoilsport.
