The "very beginning" these days is about three years before the actual election (although Romney has been running since about 2006). That rubs me the wrong way. I think people ought to be able to "jump in" at any time it appears that there is an opening.
She is not going to run. Even if she did, she would be ground down. I just don’t want to see that happen. I respect her and want her to take care of her son and her daughters without the media craziness. But of course, it is her choice and if she feels the calling, then who am I to question that. And she would not win. Not because I would not vote for her, because I might, but because of who she is seen as by the media and the establishment. And you know exactly what I mean.
