Correct. Meaningless this far out.
This is Iowa, which hardly matters anyway. Walker is the guy with today’s buzz, and he’s buds with the Iowa governor.
Iowa caucuses (not a primary) will go three ways: The GOP-E guy, libertarians backing Rand Paul, and whoever is the evangelical frontrunner.
Walker seems like one of those everybody’s-second-choice kind of guys.
This is so true, on the Republican side anyway. All this hoopla about Iowa, and if someone wins Iowa or NH - but not SC, they are never going to be President. SC folks tend to not give a damn what folks in Iowa and NH say, and even though SC is a small state, there will be more voters in SC than in Iowa and NH combined by a big factor. A state doesn't = a state necessarily. SC is the first test of being able to move large turn out. Then Florida comes, and it's of course much bigger and a test of money to buy expensive media markets.
