I agree with you. Romney and Perry have the strongest and most dynamic organizational and fundraising structures. Because of that, time is not their enemy as it is with the rest of the field.

Perry can recover and be the non-Romney by default as the rest of the field goes broke.

time is not their enemy as it is with the rest of the field.… as the rest of the field goes broke.

Excellent point. For the rest of the field, a win (or these days, an 'unexpectedly strong second-place') in the early primaries is required to stay in. In the recent past, South Carolina has been the key for the remaining top tier.

With all the recent shuffling of primary dates, I'm really ignorant on whether that will be the case this year (dunno where Florida primary will land in terms of importance).

Thanks much for your reply...

Perry is not the non Romney. Just a wanna be RINO.
