“The uncertain shape of the 2016 Republican presidential field is, to an unusual degree, a product of a historically large number of potential aspirants coming from the same states,” the Wall Street Journal reports.
“Four states–Wisconsin, Texas, Florida, and Ohio–have two Republicans thinking seriously or already decided about seeking the 2016 GOP presidential nomination.”
“Candidates with a fellow Republican from the same state in the race may find themselves having to share or compete over political and fundraising bases. Some potential candidates may decide to pass on running precisely because they can’t be sure of having the same team they had in previous statewide races.”
