Exactly. And the idea anyone’s campaign hopes should hing on the returns from Iowa or New Hampshire, is just plain nuts.
For the record, we’re talking about somethink like 0.0015% of the potential voters in November 2008, making or breaking someone. What nonsense...
There’s that, too.
Other than a few comments here and there I avoided the vast majority of ‘08 race threads throughoutout ‘07. That doesn’t mean I haven’t been paying attention, it’s just that I felt it was far to early.
Heck the prognositicating for ‘08 started the morning after Election Day ‘04 here on FR.
It’s now ‘08, now I’ll start participating a bit more.
It IS nuts and I'm sick of the influence small non-representative states like IA and NH have on this process.
