The Rhodes Cook Letter • February 2012 2 Intermission Ends our years ago the struggle for the Democratic nomination between Barack Obama and Hillary FClinton was an immediate classic. This year, the Republicans are in the midst of a memorable contest of their own. Already it has made history, in terms of the outsized importance of the Republican candidate debates as well as the rise of a lucrative new system of campaign funding in the form of “super PACs.” And the early GOP primaries and caucuses, rather than quickly resolving the nomination, have ended in a muddle. It is not something that Republicans are used to. For all practical purposes, GOP nominating races over the last quarter century have been decided by the ides of March. If the old rules had been in effect this time, the 2012 nomination would probably have been settled by now in Mitt Romney’s favor. But the former system of a “front-loaded” calendar, set up in a manner to reward a well-heeled, well-organized candidate with early momentum, is no more. It has been replaced this year by a calendar that builds slowly to a climactic round of major state primaries in the spring. And it is aug- mented by Republican rules changes that make it impossible for a candidate to quickly achieve this year’s required delegate majority of 1,144. The new system not only slows the rush to judgment, but gives a dark horse candidate such as Rick Santorum his best chance to win a major party nomination since George McGovern and Jimmy Carter did so on the Democratic side in the 1970s. When Will It End? here is talk these days of a “brokered convention” – one where the nomination might not be Tdecided until the Republican delegates gather in Tampa late this summer. There is even dis- cussion of a “white knight” coming to the rescue of the party, either by entering the array of late spring primaries or by making himself (or herself) available at the convention. However, the window has largely closed for any candidate to get into the race and have an impact on the late primaries. That would have had to have been done near the beginning of February, when this unusual two-week intermission in the GOP race was about to begin. This pause in the campaign was a natural occasion for both candidates and potential candidates alike to assess their status, and either enter or get out of the race. But no candidate has been doing so well or so poorly to spur such a serious recast of the Republican contest. Instead, it has been a time for the present crop of candidates to try and restock their treasuries while focusing their campaigns on the large collection of states that will be voting in the weeks directly ahead. And of course, the intermission period gave time for the quartet of GOP candidates to engage in another presidential debate. In the past, the possibility of a “brokered convention” could qualify as quadrennial fiction writing. Under the current system, though, it might have about a 5% chance of happening. Those are long odds, but there was probably only a 5% chance in 2008 that the Obama-Clinton battle would last the entire primary season. And it did. More likely to happen this year, however, is that the GOP nomination will be settled during the primary season. In the recent past, one candidate has won a key primary or two fairly early in the The Rhodes Cook Letter • February 2012 3 nominating season, then run off a long string of primary victories that drove his opponents from the race and enabled him to quickly nail down the nomination. That is essentially the way it played out for Republicans John McCain in 2008, George W. Bush in 2000, and George H.W. Bush in 1988. The Bushes won virtually every primary and caucus in sight (Continued on Page 7) 2012 Republican Primary, Caucus Results (through Feb. 15) States won by Santorum States won by Romney State won by Gingrich © © Caucus States © © © A total of nine primaries and caucuses were held by the © time this year’s Republican presidential race reached its February intermission. Of these events, Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum each won four, while Newt Gingrich took one. In 2008, these same states broke four each for Romney and John McCain, with one going for Mike Huckabee.

That is an increase of one delegate from the chart on page 4 of the December issue, with the additional delegate in Nebraska. As of Feb. 20, only 115 delegates had been directly allocated, with another 128 in caucus states where the delegate selection process is under way but the delegates not as yet formally allocated. In the states that vote from Feb. 28 through the spring, a total of 2,043 delegates remain to be chosen.

All rights reserved. How would the course of history been altered had P.T. Barnum moderated the famed Lincoln-Douglas debates in 1858? Today’s ultimate showman and on-again, off-again presidential candidate Donald Trump invited the Republican presidential primary contenders to a debate he planned to moderate and broadcast over the Christmas holidays. One of a record 30 such debates and forums held or scheduled between May 2011 and March 2012, this, more than any of the previous debates, had the potential to be an embarrassing debacle. Trump “could do a lot of damage to somebody,” said Karl Rove, the architect of President George W. Bush’s 2000 and 2004 campaigns, in an interview with Greta Van Susteren of Fox News. “And I suspect it’s not going to be to the candidate that he’s leaning towards. This is a man who says himself that he is going to run— potentially run—for the president of the United States starting next May. Why do we have that person moderating a debate?” 1 Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the 2008 Republican nominee for president, also reacted: “I guarantee you, there are too many debates and we have lost the focus on what the candidates’ vision for America is..

Since then, the president has recovered the political ground he lost during the debt ceiling fiasco and now enjoys a narrow edge over Mitt Romney, the presumptive Republican nominee. The standard political and economic indicators suggest that the 2012 election will be close. And the historic level of partisan polarization ensures that it will be hard-fought and divisive. William A. Galston is the Ezra K. Zilkha Since Vietnam and the Iranian hostage crisis, Republicans have effectively used the Chair in Governance issue of national security against Democrats. Barring unforeseen events, Romney Studies and senior will not be able to do so this year. Nor will a focus on hot-button social issues yield fellow at Brookings. significant gains for the challenger. Instead, to an extent that Americans have not seen for at least two decades, the election of 2012 will revolve around a single defining issue—the condition of the economy. In 2008, Barack Obama defeated John McCain in large measure because the people saw him as more able to manage the economy at a moment of frightening crisis.

    Republican Party of Iowa 621 East 9th Street Des Moines, IA 50309 ! ! TO: Interested Parties FROM: Jeff Kaufmann Chairman, Republican Party of Iowa DATE: May 27, 2015 SUBJECT: Participation in 2015 Straw Poll Preliminary Meetings Several individuals who are considering running for the Republican nomination for President in 2016, but who have not yet declared their candidacies, have questioned their ability to participate in the preliminary planning meetings for the 2015 Iowa Straw Poll (the “Straw Poll”) while they “test the waters” for a potential candidacy. Such individuals have expressed concerns that their participation in these preliminary meetings will trigger “candidate” status under federal election laws and require them to register as candidates with the Federal Election Commission (the “Commission”). In short, participation in the preliminary planning meetings for the Straw Poll would not cause these individuals to trigger candidate status. Iowa Straw Poll Preliminary Meetings In the lead up to the August 8, 2015 Straw Poll, the Republican Party of Iowa (“RPI”) will hold a number of preliminary meetings to address certain logistical issues for participants, potential participants, consultants and vendors. At these preliminary meetings, RPI will distribute draft rules for the Straw Poll, circulate a draft map and layout of the Straw Poll, provide an overview of the event’s activities, and address logistics about speaking order and ticket sales. Participation in the Straw Poll and any preliminary meetings leading up to the Straw Poll are by invitation only. RPI has invited declared candidates for President, as well as individuals who are not candidates but are considering running for President in 2016.
