  •  No one is saying that (none / 0)

    but the era when insurgent candidates couldn't raise money are over. Case in point was our primaries -- Dean was the insurgent and had more money than the "establishment" candidate, John Kerry.

    Insurgent candidates can raise money in this new environment, and as such, the calendar becomes less important.

    •  Money's only part of it (none / 1)

      One of the things I think we ought to note about the Dean campaign was that amid all the oo's and ah's he got for raising lots of money from small donations, he also got people to volunteer their time, effort, and shoe leather. Perhaps that should be as much of a qualification for an early candidate as anything.

      ya sure, ya betcha
