It probably is a good strategy - it worked for Reagan.

I wonder if any more will drop out, besides Pawlenty, BEFORE she decides/declares.

That is such a distortion of reality.

It was well known that Reagan WOULD run for the GOP nominationin 1980. Reagan He nearly ran Ford out of town in 1976, came within a few inches of that nomination.

What worked for Reagan was his back to back wins in New Hampshire and South Carolina, which Reagan needed after GHWB pulled an upset in Iowa.

Reagan getting into the race in November had NOTHING to do with his eventual triumph.
