Let’s talk Republicans.
As I write, it’s 365 days before the New Hampshire presidential primary, which makes this a propitious time to cast an eye toward the only party likely to have a serious nomination battle; and engage in some rank and nearly meaningless speculation.
I’ll focus here on what polling in Iowa and New Hampshire reveals about the prospects for putative GOP candidates, fully cognizant that this can change a great deal over the coming year.
One fact, though, is unlikely to change: These early contests will matter — a lot. CONT.
