No one will ever know just how much support candidates like Hunter & Thompson really had.
Being forced out for a lack of funds doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have been the best man to be President.
(& imo this is wrong)
I would like to see all of the primaries held on the same day.

I would like to see all of the primaries held on the same day.THINK! Please. You are mad that lack of funds affected Fred and Duncan?? Can you IMAGINE how much money it would take to run in a ALL-USA one-day primary???

The only effect of that would be handing more power to the media than they already have to pick winners by selective coverage and spinning.

The staggered system is the only one that allow lesser known or less well funded candidates to have a shot.

This years surprise winner: Mike Huckabee.

The Media were already for a McCain vs. Rudy race last year. Your poorly thought out all-states primary would have ensured that's what we got on Everybody Tuesday.

UGH! Try again.
