The pool of American Presidential candidates has shrunk again after the New Hampshire primary.

Just after 3PM on Wednesday, former HP CEO Carly Fiorina announced the end of her bid on Facebook. [facebook.com]

This campaign was always about citizenship—taking back our country from a political class that only serves the big, the powerful, the wealthy, and the well connected. Election after election, the same empty promises are made and the same poll-tested stump speeches are given, but nothing changes. I've said throughout this campaign that I will not sit down and be quiet. I'm not going to start now. While I suspend my candidacy today, I will continue to travel this country and fight for those Americans who refuse to settle for the way things are and a status quo that no longer works for them.

Earlier on Wednesday, rumbles began that New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was also dropping from the race. [npr.org] He cancelled his plan appearance in South Carolina, the next primary state.

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, who threw up a white flag while voting was still ongoing in Iowa, [vanityfair.com] remains in the race after pulling in only 2.3% of NH Republican primary voters.

The campaign of Hillary Clinton may also see an internal shake-up after getting only 38% of NH Democratic primary voters [huffingtonpost.com] compared to Bernie Sanders' 60%.

Of the remaining candidates, who do Soylentils prefer? Who is the most tech-savvy?
