Well yeah, since Rush tsunamied him to faux front-runner on purpose, knowing Mitt was handing him his 20 points and donors, and is still unrepentant, yea verily giddy that ‘he did that’, Mr.-I-Don’t-Get-Involved-In-Primaries-well-except- this-one.
He might not have done him any favors. Remember when Howard Dean peaked too early? It’s still almost a year to the Iowa Caucuses and New Hampshire Primary. 24 hours can be a lifetime in politics, much less a year. I’ve worked on several presidential campaigns in Iowa and organization (there are 99 counties) is key, not straw polls. No one knew who Jimmy Carter, Mike Huckabee or Barack Obama was at this stage of the game, yet they won in Iowa.
