Tom Vilsack is on CNN right now...and when Wolf pointed out that he is last in polling for Dems.
Vilsack said that at this time before Bill Clinton was elected the first time...Clinton was ranked 13th.
However, I keep hearing that Clinton and McCain and the other top runners are gobbling up the money and the political aides and workers so fast..that anyone coming in late will have nothing left.
I am not giving an opinion...just reporting what I have heard.
Yeah, I know. Democrats have a unique problem because Hillary has more money than any previous candidate has ever had to run, and she's a force that is probably impossible to overcome on their side.
I'm beginning to get this feeling that none of the declared candidates at this point, from either party, will end up getting the nominations.
I think we're in for a bloodbath amongst the current field and that someone will emerge in Q3 of this year in both camps to become the front runner and eventual candidate. On the Republican side I see this as a possible opening for Newt and that is what I think he's looking at as well. By September all of the others will be so beat up by their opponents and the media that Newt's "baggage" will look trivial in comparison. I mean, think about Biden's gaff on the same day he announced his candidacy on the Dhimmicrat side. Things like that are going to happen to all of these folks.
I don't have a feeling for the Dhimmicrat side, but I think it is most likely to be a governor. Maybe Phil Bredesen from here in Tennessee or Jon Corzine in New Jersey. Corzine has got the fortune to self fund a campaign. Bredesen is more conservative than his Republican predecessor and I think he could attract second hand funding from early fall out candidates (they can distribute their campaign funds to other campaigns)
I don't have anything concrete to point to, but this idea has been nagging at me. It's just too early for all of this to start for these people to survive the scrutiny. Not in this fickle society.
