The Great Primary Calendar re-shuffle Megathread

Joe,

What you wrote makes no sense.  So Romney wants a state that you believe is strong for him (that may not in fact be true anymore given what the evidence that he is collapsing) to come later in the process by a couple of months.

The problem with this argument is that he won't be able to sustain loss after loss and stay in.  he'll be forced  out of the race if he's not winning primaries.  If Florida is going to get pushed back to April, there's no way he'll be able to hang around until his "favorable" states if he's putting up terrible numbers February-March.

Palin was already going to win Washington state whether it was a primary or caucus.  The Northwest Republican electorate is a good fit for her.

It seems like Romney's team is completely self-destructive and indecisive about everything.

Because Romney knows his support is paper thin everywhere outside of some parts of the Northeast and some Mormon states, he has to equivocate as to whether he wants Florida ahead or towards the back of the process.

Romney ran one of the worst campaigns in 2008 if you look at the return on his investment ratio ($44 million in debt).  His PAC is well behind Palin's PAC in terms of return on investment ratio as well (though he avoided spending himself into debt this time).  It appears that Romney is set to run another terrible campaign in 2012 and his indecision on Florida is strong evidence that he will implode just like he did running his own campaign in 2008.
