to many faulty premises here. McCain will win SC. Thompson, at the absolute best, will crawl into third.
But the bigger problem here is that going to the convention without a nominee will GUARANTEE defeat in November. Two months is too short to campaign in a nation of 300 million. How will any candidate raise the kind of money necessary in those two months? It’s impossible. Sure, we convention junkies would love it, but that’s not much of a trade off - our entertainment, versus 4 years of Hillary/Barack.
“Two months is too short to campaign in a nation of 300 million. “
For us political junkies we follow politics all the time. The common person does not start paying attention until the last couple of weeks of an election. Two months is plenty of time.
