After the caucuses closed in Iowa last night, MIke Huckabee and Martin O'Malley suspended their campaigns for lack of interest in their candidacies.
Jeb Bush was then wondering why everybody was now looking at him?
Here Jeb indicates his approximate chances of winning the GOP nomination.
That's why everybody's looking at you Jeb

Good point, Ed. You have to wonder about all the donors who gave huge bucks to JEB! 9 months ago. A lot of it has been spent, mostly trying to take out Rubio in the ludicrous theory that only the other Floridian stood between JEB! and being mano-a-mano against Trump. Most of those donors have probably now decided to go elsewhere, leaving their zombie candidate behind.
Hopefully, no Republican will ever hire JEB!'s consultants again.
I think part of it also is Bush-fatigue as well as a rejection of the notion of Jeb's inevitability. Honestly, I don't know why everybody below Rubio didn't drop out last night. I predict most of them will after NH.
He never wanted to run - it's obvious when you watch him. Some people talked him into it, sadly for JEB!
You don't think he always planned on running since being Governor? I assumed he gave up the governorship in order TO run, needing a full-time effort to make his nomination inevitable. Why do you think he didn't want it?
He said for years he wasn't going to.
Wasn't he term limited as governor? He was governor long ago, not just recently. His heart is obviously not in it.
I read that JEB! leads the "single digits crowd" in NH. His last stand?
I think it could be Trump's.
I don't know, Iowa and NH are weird-voting states. I don't feel like we have a genuine picture of the candidates until SC and Nevada. Of course Super Tuesday pretty much settles it. I'm not sure it's fair to the candidates that Iowa and NH get to define the whole election picture.
Maybe a delayed Super Tuesday in like April for all the marbles......just like a general election?I
I don't dislike Jeb, I just think he got lost in the Trump circus event along with an alphabet soup list of other candidates. After any other Dem president, Jeb probably is easily in the top two going into ST.
I don't dislike any of the, although Trump worries me and Kasich annoys me. Either Cuban is fine with me at this point.
Yeah, me too.
Jeb! just quit on the day of the SC primary. Wow, his donors could have saved $40 million!
