Ahead of Tuesday's New Hampshire primary, former Vice President Joe Biden's campaign stressed that while theyre not conceding ground in the Granite State, the real game in their view comes into view when more diverse states start to have their say.
The path to the nomination for Joe Biden runs through South Carolina, Nevada, and Super Tuesday, senior campaign adviser Kate Bedingfield told reporters on Monday.
This is Game 2, and were going all the way to Game 7, she said. Hes been very clear hes the underdog here.
She dismissed the possibility that Biden might drop out before the next rounds of voting and said the last week was their second-best week of online fundraising since the campaign launched but declined to give a number, unlike other campaigns that have made similar boasts and put out more specific figures.
When he goes to South Carolina, hes going to create momentum just by going there, said former New Hampshire Gov. John Lynch, a Biden surrogate and supporters.

wow, that's an idiom wrapping a synecdoche (Rhetorical device where a part represents the whole) rolled into a political/sports double entendre for a really bad pun.

(1,381 posts)But I am worried that Biden is running the same campaign strategy that Rudy Gulliani used in 2008.
I remember him being the clear front runner for the Republicans in the year before the voting started. He, like Biden, didnt think he could win the early States so he put all of his faith in Super Tuesday. But by that time, he had lost all momentum, and lost the nomination.
Will the same thing happen to Biden?
I just have the feeling of deja vu.
Especially with Bloomberg in the mix now.
