‘Why 15? Why not 10? or 5? or 20?
It’s an arbitrary number.’
Uemmm, no, its not ‘arbitrary’ I use that specifically, because of what happened in Iowa in 2004.
Do you remember where John Kerry was heading into Iowa?
10 percent, your toast. 5 percent, your Ron Paul.
15 - 209 percent, your ‘viable’ for the moment.
Were there five candidates all pulling double-digits nationally in 2004? With "undecided" also in double digits? With the distance from 1st to 5th almost all being within the margin of error?
It's a five-man race right now, and any of them could still win it.
