I appreciate your POV, but I think, in the end, it won’t matter. Let them run.
It will take $100 million to win the nomination. Sarah Palin can afford to wait a few months to get in. Even if Bachmann and Perry raise $10 million/month each, once Palin enters, she’ll not only swamp them donation-wise, their funding will precipitously dry up from that point going forward. Not only that, but once Palin makes inroads into the race, she’ll make inroads with their supporters, as well.
Of the candidates left in the race, I only see two of them raising $100 million for the primary. One can primarily self-finance that amount, the other is Sarah Palin.
“I appreciate your POV, but I think, in the end, it won’t matter. Let them run.”
I agree. She will swamp them both. But if they run, this question is going to be lurking out there in the voter’
s minds, in spite of what the usual trolls on FR say.
