Hi PK Mom I've been posting this........
Get This.....
Indeed, Feb. 5, 2008, may become Super-Duper Tuesday with, perhaps, Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma and Utah voting on the same day..
Think about that. That means the nominee won't just be able to go to IA and NH shake some hands and come from nowhere.
They will need an entire national ground game and close to 100 million to buy radio and TV ads within a year.
They have to make the ads ....hire thousands of people..pollsters...consultants...the logistacs in this time constrant are staggering.
There are 5 people in the country who can pull that off. Rudy,Romney,McCaine, Hillary and maybe Obama or Colin Powell.
The rest of the pack is already toast.
Thats a great point!
I agree with your analysis on who has the ability to pull this off. Rudy went right to the top of the list when I saw who was hosting the fundraiser in TX as being the one that will raise the money the fastest. Boone Pickens is now registered as a Republican for which I am grateful.
