Why do candidates stay in the race when they have no chance to win?

[Tidewater_Wave]

If you have any chance whatsoever to be in the race then you do it because the possibility is still there. It means alot to the candidates running. Also, money is just as big of a factor. As long as they can afford it, nothing is really stopping them. Support leads to money which is why it is often the front runners and winners who only stay in.
