I agree. Americans tend to overlook gaffes at the very beginning of the primaries. That's why it's always a better strategy to enter them early and not later.

Unfortunately, the Algore Strategy is a losing one. Americans lose respect for a candidate that holds out for as long as possible and tries to minimize the number of debates in order to minimize the number of gaffes. The American people see this as a major weakness.

Agreed. Most people actually lose respect if a candidate is perceived as trying to skip the debates. I know I do.

My guy was in from the get-go and we’re working hard to raise his name recognition but apparently everyone wants a politician. I always say that politicians got us into this mess, why don’t we give a non-politician a chance?

Onward!!
