"...places like Iowa and New Hampshire, locales with little industry, no financial industry, and fewer people...."

Hahahaha! Des Moines, Iowa is one of the three insurance & financial services capitols of North America. Shows you how much Mary and her friends know.

Nope, nothing but corn and meth from the Hudson River to the Sierra Nevadas. They've flown over in and they know it.

Yeah, like they’re doing so much better.

We’d all be better off if we chose our leaders by random lottery, I think.

When I was working in Australia my mates were asking about our election process for president. It took me several hours what with questions and all .... they responded with trying to teach me cricket. A game that lasts for days ... but they do love American football.

This article is what you get when you have an ignorant writer writing about the ignorant opinions of ignorant people - something of no relevance to anyone at all.

We choose our presidents like they do- we vote for the ones the media like.

The present primary and caucus system is not inherently American for picking Presidential candidates. I would say the current system is inherently 1970’s Liberal. For most of our history, the candidates were chosen in the proverbial smoke filled room at party conventions. Sometimes just being nominated by a state convention was enough to put someone on the ballot, as was common during the Jacksonian era. Considering the pygmies that have been chosen, Reagan being the exception, I think they did a better job in the smoke filled room. But the leftist good government types came along in the 1970’s and created this waste of money free for all every four years. The same people you hear talking about taking money out of elections, another words restrict free speach, were the same ones who created the primary system back in the 70’s.

Americans select their presidents using guidance from the same kind of people that use to create commercials for cigarettes.

Fook them.

If they are so great, how come we are their outsourced world champion butt kicking country....

I could care less what Twerpope thinks....

Do they make anything we want? Uhm, nope.

Do they worship our presidents more less? Yes, cuz for sure we don’t even know who their leaders because it doesn’t matter.

What does matter is that everyone wants McDonalds, Starbucks, Apple, Levis, IBM, Coca Cola, Pizza Hut and a myriad list of American products.

Did I say Ford and Chevy?

"including moderates like Jeb Bush"

Has anyone EVER heard a journalist refer to a Democrat as a "moderate"? Of course not, because Democrats are considered by journalists to be "moderate" by default.

Reminds me of my uncle, he always said, “Why do we always let a bunch of pig farmers (Iowa) choose our Presidents?”

To: All

All I can say is that I pray hard it will not become another Bush vs. Clinton race, that’s so trite and “so 1992.” We need to do a lot better.
