Doesn’t anyone remember the controversy surrounding the race for the Democratic nomination in 2004? We all remember how it all ended, with Bush having raised enough money to defeat Kerry with the help of one special benefactor, but how many remember how it all started with the surprise winner of the Iowa Caucus, and the even more surprising, the problems in the New Hampshire Primary, and of course the inevitable legal challenges. So, I guess given recent political history, to answer your question, it’s certainly possible.
What’s that? You DON’T remember? I must have made it all up.
