Two months isn't enough to get something together, especially since they're strapped for cash at the beginning, given the all-out sprint (i.e. expensive ad blitz) near the end of primary season. Party-building should really be the party's function. Where the heck was Reince Preibus?
Funny you should mention Reince Priebus - but that is essentially my conclusion about the solution to all of this - that the RNC needs to have a role in a constant effort at voter identification. Not just for 2 frantic months once every four years, but a 24x7, 365 days a year effort to build a voter information platform. It would take a lot of $$$, but when you finally get down to having your nominee, you’re right, there is hardly enough time to get it together.
This just stings. It’s like the O.J. verdict. It doesn’t get any better with time. And when it will really hurt is when Obama either gets to refresh Justice Ginsberg’s spot on the court, or, God forbid, Justice Scalia steps down or otherwise leaves the court in the next 4 years.
