It is doubtful that Dean will drop out, even if he doesn't win in NH. Even if he comes in 2nd and gets better than 18% he can claim that he is gaining ground, not that he really is but that would be the spin of it. One thing that this primary may do to the chagrin of the democrats is be protracted and go on well after super tuesday. The only way this is not going to happen is if Kerry gets a huge win in NH and then gets the majority on Feb 3rd. Dean would have to place a buch of 3rds and Clark and Edwards will have to be distant wherever they place.
This should be it for Lieberman and Kuccinich. Why they would stay in at this point is just a waste of time. Shartpton will probably be in for most if not all of the primaries but he too is wasting valueable time that the remaining candidates could have but it is his right.
