Want to bet this was written weeks ago?

Political scientists argue that the single most important determinant of the outcome of the nomination is support from party elites: those operatives who can staff a winning campaign; the donors who fund it;

Good point..ask President Dole, President McCain and President Romney about that support..

[Verginius Rufus]

Nate Cohn writes for The New York Times and he doesn't know better than to split infinitives?

[JustaCowgirl]

We need to start locating all the identical articles and statements that were made about Reagan and start bringing them into the light of day.

And there is one of the biggest problems with the party.

And probably at the direction of the White House propaganda ministry.

[Pelham]

It was written weeks ago by Republican establishment hacks who want Jeb Bush or one of his clones.

Looks like Jen just sent his MS Word templates out to the media.

[Batman11]

“The New York Times’”

That is as far as I read!

[arthurus]

He is still a long shot for the Nomination and shoud he get that, the election.
Jeb Bush is still alive.
The illegals are still out their waiting for their citizenship and voting rights that will probably happen in the next 10-12 months. As non citizens they still have their drivers' licenses and have been therewith registered to vote regardless of their Citizenship status, and they will vote, some several times. And Soros counts the votes from the touch screen machines.
Yes, a long shot, indeed.

[Olog-hai]

Perhaps years.

They are certainly panicking.

Something that is seldom mentioned is that, even on the Democratic side, the establishment candidate is not always the winner and are sometimes defeated by relative unknowns. Ted Kennedy was defeated by Jimmy Carter. Hillary Clinton was defeated by Barack Obama.

Rick Santorum’s shoestring campaign in Iowa four years ago might be instructive, too.

Seems to me I remember hearing the same type of story written about a little known actor named Reagan.

[jacknhoo]

NYT’s yellow journalism doesn’t even pique my interest enough to read the first paragraph.

[TADSLOS]

That pesky little rebellion in the British colonies of America was a long shot, too.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Political scientists argue that the single most important determinant of the outcome of the nomination is support from party elites:

translation: New York Times is reporting that the GOPe has already rigged the outcome of this race.

[Vaduz]

NYT = DNC owned

[MeshugeMikey]

[tanknetter]

*snort*

The most significant thing stated in this by Nate Cohn (and allowed into print by the NY Times editors” is that the GOP is a “diverse party”

Betcha we don’t hear them say that again this cycle ...

[Gen-X-Dad]

With Cruz in the mix, he will become target #1 for the corporate media and RINO backstabbers. This should take the heat off of Walker for a while.

[Dead Corpse]

But he remains a long shot, at best.

Wrong. Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.

Ted plays his cards right, he'll slaughter them no matter who the Dem candidate is.
