Nonsense. There is still a whole excruciating ~year~ and more to go. I am increasingly of the opinion that the early primaries are now too early to be relevant.
Letting the party decide too early who their candidate is just leaves a very, very long time... Time enough for the nominee to fall on his face. Leaving it once again to the convention to find another. Which, IMHO wouldn't be a bad way to go. This business of starting campaigns 18 or 20 months out is just too much.
Totally agree...
I really want to shoot whomever started the trend to earlier and earlier primaries.
This is ridiculous.
Even as a political junkie, I should not have to think about this until December. I had all this stuff tossed at me in April, for crying out loud. Who cares that friggin’ early???!!!!
