This argument that the Federal Reserve is keeping rates low to help Obama really doesn’t make much sense. Beyond the lack of evidence that the Fed is acting politically, how would that conspiracy work? If low rates are helping the economy, that’s presumably a good thing. And if low rates are hurting the economy, won’t that also be bad for Obama and the Democrats?

Going back to who will drop out first — I say none of them. This seems to be a hobby for the ones for whom it is not a job. It’s like people who have a band on the weekends and a day job the rest of the time. (I’m thinking of Santorum and Huckabee particularly.)
