{Quote} from somebody in this thread... I say let the process play out. Personally, this condensed primary concept stinks. I live in NJ and my primary isn't until June. By then, the process will have been decided and my vote marginalized. It really isn't a fair system and is disenfranchising voters.-------{end Quote}------- i agree. the Primaries System is a joke. there needs to be, like, 4-6 states per Primary Day, and the Primary Days need to be 2 weeks apart. that way... 1. it ain't all about Iowa and NH. (which is ridiculous). 2. being 2 weeks apart - the Candidates have a chance to recover in 2 weeks (from any primal screams) - and the "front runners" need to hold all that "Mo" for 2 weeks instead of 1 week. this would "separate the wheat from the shaft" in a more equitable fashion. 3. the Primaries are over in 7-10 weeks -- but they're NOT over in 3-4 weeks. that is, ALL the Candidates SHOULD be able to run an 8 week Campaign - becuz they should all STILL be in it after 4 weeks. this nonsense about throwing in the towel after 2-3 weeks or 4 weeks of Campaigning is just that - nonsense! more like a Campaign for Prom Queen or High School Senior President. 4. since they're over in 7-10 weeks, they should START in mid-March - anf be FINISHED by the end of May, First of June. no sense having frickin' Primaries in the dead of winter! 5. almost ALL the States get "their voices heard" in a short period of time. nobody's "left out of the process." - evil
