She has till October 1st and then I will be on the Cain Train.
Hard ballot deadlines are up in a month. No amount of strategy can get around coming up short in a delegate count.
But since the Republicans are no longer using “winner-take-all” primaries, she could miss a few states, and if the other candidates split the vote enough (which they will if there are still 9 of them), she might not be that far behind.
SO I don’t think she is “too late” from that perspective, although it might be too late for other reasons. More likely, if she decides not to run, it won’t be because she waited too long, but because she really just decided it wasn’t what she wanted to do.
I am finding it harder to believe (I never fully bought it), that her waiting is all part of some grand strategy. I believe her when she says she is still trying to decide, and still looking to see if an existing candidate will emerge that she can support and has a good chance of winning. And if that is correct, the fact that it is getting later and later could just indicate that she isn’t jumping at the chance to enter the race.
But why speculate? We’ll all know eventually.
Great, does that mean if she decides after that to run, you will stay on the Cain Train?
