To what extent to we see a Dole-like consolidation of the party structure? <br /><br />Yeah, Dole had to work for the nomination -- his spending to ward off Forbes and Buchanan drained his coffers heading into the summer months of 1996 -- but he was the candidate of the party.<br /><br />Does Romney emerge as that candidate? Does Gingrich? I don't know, but the Dole example is the GOP model for 2012 -- minus the money issues the party and its supporters would hope -- and Romney and Gingrich are the candidates that would most likely fill that role best.Josh Putnamhttp://frontloading.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719252574677567989.post-36511662095948316362009-04-25T22:04:00.000-04:002009-04-25T22:04:00.000-04:00If Obama keeps his high approval ratings, you may ...If Obama keeps his high approval ratings, you may see some of the younger candidates decide to wait 4 years. Then this may look a bit like the Dems in '92 - the most well-known candidates pass, leaving the field for a lesser known Governor. Sanford and Huntman are the two I would keep an eye on.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02126730290750804530noreply@blogger.com
