And Then There Were Sixty

Eleven months ago, I complied a list of 64 potential Republican presidential hopefuls. The list read like this:

ARMEY, Dick
BACHMANN, Michelle
BARBOUR, Haley
BECK, Glenn
BENNETT, Bill
BLACKBURN, Marsha
BLACKWELL, Kenneth J.
BOENHER, John
BROWN, Scott
BROWNBACK, Sam
BURTON, Dan

CAO, Ahn
CHENEY, Richard B.
CHENEY, Elizabeth
CHRISTIE, Chris

DEMINT, Jim
DOBBS, Lou
DOBSON, Richard
DREIER, David
ENSIGN, John
ERICKSON, Eric
FIORINA, Carleton S.
FLAKE, Jeff

McDONNELL, Bob
PALIN, Sarah

ROMNEY, Willard
RYAN, Tim [bka Paul]
SANTORUM, Rick
SCARBOROUGH, Joe
SHELBY, Richard
STEELE, Michael
TANCREDO, Tom
THOMPSON, Fred
VITTER, David
WURZELBACHER, Samuel
WARREN, Rick

Scott Brown took himself off the list yesterday, when he announced his support for the repeal of DADT. (No, that wouldn't stop I, Lieberman from running.) Tom DeLay won't be visiting Iowa or New Hampshire or FOX News HQ any time soon, and Dick Cheney probably won't either. Carelton Fiorina will save her money. Everyone else is still a go.
