...though always being mindful that, if there is a candidate who looks like he is going to get the nomination, it would be helpful not to unnecessarily bloody him in the primaries.

If he can't take the heat, get outta the kitchen!

If we haven't dealt with the candidate's record, you can bet your skivvies the opposition will. Get it out there, warts and all.

Otherwise, the surprises will be hatched a week or two before the polls open and the candidate will lose.

The Dems have the MSM behind them full bore, and every snide remark and snarky political ad thinly vieled as an allegation in a 'news' item will be aired ad nauseum right up until the polls close.

If the writing on that wall has not been read, ask Allen why Webb won. In a word: "Macacca", played more often than 'Enzyte Bob'.

The primary season is the time to clear the air, not the time to play softball with the candidates. As a wise fellow once told me, "You train like you fight. Every drop of sweat saves a gallon of blood later."

You know d@mned well the gloves will be off come the general.

I agree with everything you said. However, in every primary season there reaches a point where one person’s nomination is inevitable.

We are not there yet, and there is no set time when that occurs. But when it occurs, we’ll know it.

At that time, whenever it is, then I believe it’s time to rally around the person who clearly (operative word) is going to be the nominee.

Again, we are far from being at that point now.
