re: #96 albusteve

At the time, he was probably getting advice, and thought himself, that he could overturn the existing primary caucus system that dominates the primary season giving far too much power to Iowa and NH in shaping national politics, rather than big states that come later. Had he been successful, primaries, which generally start with NH and IA, and have several major days - Super Tuesday where groups of states conduct their primaries, would be rejiggered and candidates would likely shift emphasis away from the small states to focus on the major states that come later.

However, Rudy failed to stay in the game - to hold his own in those primaries, and by the time FL came around, he flamed out in spectacular fashion because for all of his focus on FL, he failed miserably - and didn’t even win the state.
