One of Mitt Romney’s top surrogates, the former NH governor John Sununu, told reporters in South Carolina this morning that the GOP could be looking at an epic primary fight that would not wrap up quickly.
Here’s how the Huffington Post put it:
“I think you’re going to see the same kind of long slog that you saw in ’76, with [Gerald] Ford and [Ronald] Reagan, that it took the whole thing to win,” Sununu told reporters.
“This is a long slog,” Sununu said. “[Romney]’s never suggested one or two or three primaries or caucuses would make the difference. The whole campaign has been designed to go through the long slog.”
