Are any of these guys really viable candidates?

I think it's too soon to tell. We have to wait it out a bit to see how the "herd thins out".
I am actually pretty surprised at McCain's struggles. Also, I don't think money necessarily = a win. Perot, Forbes all had tons of money but didn't really get anywhere. I do think Bloomberg is interesting.
When the dust settles, we will have 1 Democrat and 1 Republican candidate. I am interested to see what independent or other party candidates turn up. Lieberman? Nader?
