Feb. 5, 2008, may become Super-Duper Tuesday with, perhaps, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah voting on the same day..
Think about that. That means that some obscure nominee will just be able to go to IA and NH shake some hands and come from nowhere.
They will need an entire national ground game and close to 100 million to buy radio and TV ads within a few months.
They have to make the ads ....hire thousands of people..pollsters...consultants...the logistacs in this time constrant are staggering.
There are 5-6 people in the country who can pull that off. Rudy,Romney,McCaine, Hillary and maybe Obama, Colin Powell,Edwards.
They front loaded the primaries. It's pretty much game over. Unless Rudy runs as a liberal...which we know he won't..or pulls a Dean Scream...he's to smart for that...game over.....only Romney could keep up...and he's not so bad. McCaine is too damaged and old. So be of good cheer.
I'm thinking about throwing the towel in on these threads. I don't need the hassle when I am damn sure of the outcome. I'll keep posting articles on poll results but debating folks in denial of the facts is a waste of time.
The Dems did the front loading, along with some states, who wanted the limelight. It certainly does shut down the process; however, since Hillary has been running for president, FOR years and is such a bad candidate, she needs to shut out everyone running against her.
