Iowa caucus is in early 2016?
Midsummer 2015 does not seem late to me.
It may not be late on the calendar but it may be too late to start courting big money donors. They’re gonna line up quickly behind a candidate and I’m afraid that would be Jeb Bush. If Walker wants in for 2016 he can’t wait until the summer to announce his candidacy for president.
There are behind the scenes rumblings that the Iowa Straw Poll is DONE. I’m okay with that,, it had turned into a slick way for the Iowa GOP to fleece the candidates. But anyone who intends to run and misses the Iowa State Fair Soap Box is missing a huge opportunity. Only those who are declared candidates are invited to speak.
And the highly regarded operatives are already getting picked off by Paul, Santorum, Perry. even Trump is interviewing the yungin’s who know how to organize and have relationships from past campaigns.
