Personally I want a single primary day nationwide.

When there are so many candidates, that would mean that someone could win the nomination with only around 25% of the vote( which means that 75% do not support the winner).
Not sure that would be so great for conservatives.

So you're OK with middle of the road Iowa and left leaning east coast states picking the candidates for us?

Do away with this first in the nation crap and let the candidates campaign to their strengths all across the country instead of spending 9 months in Iowa and NH.

Well you are correct that it would not be great for conservatives, however after this latest electoral cycle of primary foolishness, I actually have a solution that not only would bring balance and common sense back into the GOP primaries, it will never be adopted because it is above all things, infinitely FAIR:

Adopt a lottery selection process to determine the order of the presidential primaries. Each election cycle, all the states names go into a hat, and the order in which they are drawn will determine 'who goes first' as the primary process begins on 3 January of that election year.

Every 4 years, a new lottery is drawn with new results every time, a November/Thanksgiving date would be a good point to pull the names from the hat.

Iowa and New Hampshire can take their chances with the rest of their fellow states, no more favorites, no more divas, no more of the clamoring about how 'special' this caucus or this primary is, and ONLY Republicans registering within 30 days of the primaries will be allowed to participate.

Well, it was a neat brainstorm anyhow.
