Why not have ALL states vote on the same day? This “Iowa and New Hampshire are entitled to vote first and determine the nominee” is complete B.S.

If all states voted on the same day, we could have just anointed Rudy Giuliani as the nominee months ago. Having a process where a few small states go first allows other candidates to work hard in those early states and build a campaign. They can then use the momentum that the build in the early states to win support in later states. If you want the media to pick our nominee in every election cycle as they have tried to pick Giuliani this time, then you should be supporting a single, national primary date. If you don't want the media to make the pick, then you should support having different states at different times. I think the system needs adjustments, but a single primary day would destroy our chances of nominating any conservatives.

Then we need to rotate states each election cycle. Something needs to be done so that same three states don’t get the “right” to select our candidate either.
