if you were in a position of privilege
Honest assessment, and that is what we are up against. That is the problem with "just stay psoitive", and "wait until Tampa". You will miss the boat. If you are going to go 3rd, you need to do it early enough to make ballot hurdles and late enough so the media can't ignore it. Back in 08 the money started drying up about here and will slow into May. The only way to bump that is to go 3rd, that will get the money flowing again. Once the MSM starts beating the "it's over" drum, you will be forced to go or be ignored.
Besides Newt and Rick were really in it this long to soak up as many "standard" GOP'ers and keep them away from Ron, Mitt V Ron and even the base may slip. Mitt will be Bob Doyle regaurdless. It's take a dive year, just like 96.
