Has Bloomberg entered his name on the early states, too?

There was a discussion on PBS about how Trump did not spend much money and I was thinking: he was so outrageous and so... different, that he got free publicity by all the networks.

In those days we used to watch Matthews and invariably they would cut to a rally..

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden

Michael Bloomberg plans to skip early voting states like Iowa and New Hampshire if he launches a presidential bid and instead focus his efforts on the crush of states that vote on Super Tuesday and beyond. It’s a strategy that acknowledges the limitations of entering the race at this late stage and the opportunities afforded by the billionaire’s vast personal wealth.

Bloomberg adviser Howard Wolfson says other candidates already have a big head start in the first four states to vote — Iowa, New Hampshire, Nevada and South Carolina — and Bloomberg needs to be realistic about where he can make up ground.

He will make his first stand on Super Tuesday ….I live in one of those states and the Bloomberg TV ad barrage has begun … An ad about every 15 minutes - while I was watching around lunch time... I think he may be overdoing it a bit much ...It's a turn off so far as I'm concerned ...

That there will be a virtual 3 or 4 way tie after the 4 early primaries.
If, on the other hand, we basically have a two person race after SC, he will most likely be irrelevant on Super Tuesday.

You attempt to organize supporters to appear at the Caucus meetings. Attendees can support whomever they want.
