This is only one statement, and how much media play it get's we'll see. Obviously he started not only late, but slowly. However there's plenty of time if his campaign organization picks up the pace. A month before the bulk of the delegates are contested. He's a solid candidate, we'll see about the wisdom of a late entry.
That’s BS about the “late entry”. That’s a cop-out. He got in months ago. The issue isn’t when he got in, but what he’s done (or hasn’t done) since then.
What he hasn’t done is campaigned vigorously or effectively.
