Well, Lord knows that if it all came down to a single day, the winner will be the guy with name recognition. It steepens the road for someone like Duncan Hunter and gives people like Giuliani and McCain an easier time.

The current situation may need improvement, but it does allow quality people -- who may not yet have national exposure -- to build their campaign up in early states (at least theoretically). If it's all one day, then people will vote for the tried-and-true party faithful who have been in Washington for 20 or 30 years.

No thanks.

I don’t know the answer. All I know is we are in a bad place when conservatives get no traction, and the MSM still carries the day.

You must live in NH or Iowa. Personally, I’d like to have a say in who are choices are going to be. Building a following slowly? Sure, and fine lot of good THAT did—the best candidates are STILL not on the ballot.

I really like this idea from Beagle8U:

My idea for how the Republican POTUS primaries should be run...

All closed primaries with registered Rep no less that 60 days in advance.

The dates of primaries will be set based on the states that were won by the Rep in the previous election going first.

The exact order determined by the % that the GOP had of the total vote in the state.

Liberal puke states that vote RAT every election will be the last to offer any opinion on the nominee.

That would put an end to the liberals choosing our candidates.

I guess this would entail somehow going after control of the RNC (they make the rules right?). But what do you guys think? The state by state campaigns would continue, but the voting order would go to the states that have been most loyal to the party.

I've also seen ideas floated to make several "super-tuesday-like" regional primaries.

Exactly. There is a clear advantage to the progressive system. All this guy shows, if anything, is that the wrong states get to go first.
