When the Ralien (aka, Ron Paul, who has been the victim of at LEAST two Alien Abductions, in my book) has enough nutcases planted in the Iowa Caucus to get his goofiness to let him contend in the "race".
Nationwide, to get a REAL Candidate of the People's choice, ALL States should have their Primaries on the same date, period. Eliminate this B.S. of the State-Run-Media and Establishment spoon-feeding us the "choice" of their hand-picked minions. Let all Primaries be "Open Primaries", and let's get REAL quality Candidates out there and available to the Public.
... and COMPLETELY eliminate letting our enemies vote in our primaries and decide our candidate. THAT’S JUST INSANE.
I sympathize with your point of view, but this kind of primary would do nothing to change the problem. If non-Romney millionaire types dominate now, how will they dominate when smaller-money candidates have to run a fifty-state primary campaign all at once?

Sorry for the double-post, second one is the corrected one.
I laughed at the Ralien line. Lordy, he is a weirdo.
That will guarantee the rich candidates to win since they have the resources to campaign in all 57 states.

For this, primaries for all parties need to be the same day as well. It means a voter can vote candidates of both parties in the same day. Or just one?

Oh, I so agree with you. Have a Super Tuesday that includes all the states.
Why, why, why won’t they do that. Maybe I’d never have to hear the I word again (Iowa)
This doesn't get said enough!
IA is good for the news channels. It gives them something to talk about, but it is not a red state. At best IA is purple. The same applies to NH.
We won't really see who conservatives are lining up behind until SC & FL.
I love the way Perry is building momentum and I hope the Gingrich backers come over to Perry if Gingrich really is crashing.
