Why on earth would Weiland drop out in favor of a candidate polling less than half his numbers? I get the theory that Weiland voters will gravitate towards pressler more than vice-versa, but I want to see how that plays out in practice once Pressler becomes the de facto Dem candidate.
IF Presssler's numbers declined the way 3rd party candidates usually do near Election Day, AND IF Weiland were to pick up the lion's share of them (Pressler voters seem as anti-Rounds as anti-Dem/Obama; most of his voters probably know Pressler backed Obama, right?), then that and a little luck MIGHT give him a ray of hope.
Highly improbable, sure, but at least a better chance than Pressler winning.
