Even at ten, the field is too large by half (and it’s still 6 months too early for “debates”) . . .
. . . what’s next?
More doors slamming into more backsides would be nice.
I see from the voting graph that Pfruit has made one last, valiant attempt to maintain the illusion his candidate is viable.
I think Steyer is the only candidate with sufficient donors and anything close to 2% in enough polls that he's going to improve his status in the next month and be able to join the debate in October.
Reality bites (again) in a month. At that point, there will be the next round of debate announcements AND a mandatory FEC filing of donors. Those running on fumes will be noticed, and fundraising will be increasingly difficult (and increasingly needed).
So the Starbucks guy could say the same thing… and stick around.
Right?
Starbucks guy Schultz has NO qualifying polls (over 2%, national or early state, since July 1), at this point. And I don't recall how many donors he said he had, but I don't think it was 130,000.
there are still over 200 declared candidates for the D nomination.
Some of them should stay until mid-March, even some of the debate exiters
None of them is my choice. All of them should collect their lovely parting gifts and exit the stage,
Those who wish to slog around Iowa and New Hampshire should be free to do so. Debates with 10 contenders are hardly enlightening and serve as fodder for political reporters, the cable networks and nuts-and-bolts junkies. The two early states have produced dark horses before.
I can't think of any time since Carter in 1976 when Iowa and New Hampshire pushed a "dark horse" into "production." When did either one push someone NOT in the top half of the field into the top 5 or so out of those two states?
