In response to "I don't agree with the IM very much. It wasn't that there were too many debates. it was that there were too many fringe voters." by Will Hunting

My IM was me agreeing with what Priebus himself said on FtN

The primary season is too long, there were too many debates, and the nominating convention does happen too late in the election season.

Responses:

And I don't agree per se. Hillary and Obama in 2008 had as long a contest and Obama did fine - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:09 7
- Romney wasn't the only one who botched it. Rove botched it. Priebus botched it. Akin botched it. They all botched it - Mr. Havens Mar 19, 10:13 4
  - Because most people zone out for July/August so why spend General Election money in dead zones? - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:22
  - You wait a couple months to make it "official" for financial reasons. Primary funds and general elections funds are two separate pots. - Ender Mar 19, 10:17 2
    - So you wait to spend out one pot before spending out of the other, even though it's going to be the same message either way? Not good enough -- nm - Mr. Havens Mar 19, 10:19 1
      - The general election pot is much smaller than the primary pot, so the less time you spend it in the more effect it has. -- nm - Ender Mar 19, 10:23
- because a one on one between two strong candidates is a different matter than the circular firing squad that was the GOP's nominating process -- nm - znufrii Mar 19, 10:12 1
  - President is a 4yr job where you are getting hammered by everyone. He's saying the GOP can't survive 6 months of that - Will Hunting Mar 19, 10:19
