Why do people keep bringing this total irrelevancy up? That was nearly 50 freeking years ago. the political machines of 1960 have NOTHING to do with how campaigns are today. LBJ announced the week before JFK's convention, and still kept Kennedy from going into the convention with a majority.
>> JFK waited until January.

I only bring it up in response to commentators who raise
it as a negative for FT, but fail to provide any context
as to why it’s “late”, and why that matters (if it does).
When I see some reporter/columnist blather about it, I
take it as “My case against FT is weak, so here’s some
filler”.
Heck, Newt will be even later, if he gets in.
