The primary season has been extended to benefit Hillary! ~~Rodham~~ _(Clinton). She, alone, stands to benefit from the extended process. She, alone, has the money and fund-raising ability to finance the long process. She, alone, has universal name recognition and murderously high negatives that can only be reduced by wearing people down and with the passage of time.

Of all the candidates, every single one of them allowed himself to be buffaloed into declaring way before he intended to, except for Fred Thompson. Which is one good reason for supporting Fred Thompson.

Could you imagine how differntly things would have turned out if Rudy, McCain, Romney et al had the guts to tell Hillary! ~~Rodham~~ _(Clinton) to go to Hell, and that they were going to announce their candidacies in the Fall of 2007, as Thompson just did? We would have had the spectacle of the Democrats all tearing each other apart on a daily basis, spending money and driving each other's numbers down, and the 'Pubbies would have been sitting pretty on a pile of money, tanned, rested and ready.

Instead, because of their own weakness, Rudy, McCain, Romney, et al allowed themselves to be bullied into abandoning all their plans and pulled into this extended primary season, and have given up the GOP's great advantage.

Rudy can pretend to be strong, but in the first big decision of his campaign, when to announce, he allowed himself to be backed into a corner by Hillary!.

McCain can pretend to be a great military thinker, but has allowed himself to be drawn into a fight he didn't have to fight, and is standing in the middle of the fray, instead of backing off and letting our enemies destroy each other.

Romney can pretend to be a great tactician and political mind, but he failed to see the possibilities of sticking to his plan and standing up for the traditional electoral process.

You are right by half and wrong by half.

The extended primary season is/will probably benefit Hillary, but I believe it was not exactly created FOR Hillary alone.

The Dimorats have taken the lead in two things this election season - the extended primary season itself and a huge increase in the number of so-called "debates" - and the two things are related to each other. But, their purpose is that they are both related to the Dimorats main propaganda providers - the LameStreamMedia. The extended primary season in general and the well publicized and televised "debates", almost weekly, allow the Dim's friends in the LameStreamMedia the means and the cover for their free and constant play-by-play daily repetition of the Dims talking points as "news". The sheeple are induced to be mentally "in tune" with the Dim's template of "issues" and promises by their mantra-like daily repetition for more than a year before anyone votes. They and their media executive friends are "framing" the issues (reinforcing the leftist context in which the issues MUST be viewed), helping to keep the sheeple's political thinking locked in that frame (box).

The Dims and the LameStreamMedia, working together, are to the American political process the equivalent of those who - with great intelligence, insight and cunning, together with perverse goals - create suicide bombers; people who no longer can think for themselves; people who are conditioned to simply follow, like lemmings to the sea.
