It’s probably just me but I feel as though the liberal, MSM is completely manipulating and orchestrating the whole “primary” process this year. The “media” wants McCain and Clinton and that’s what we the people are going to get whether we like it or not. IMHO.
Multi state primaries and bunching them all early demand a huge amount of money meaning name recognition and money wins a nomination. The current system is fine except move larger states back some. Iowa, NH, MI, SC and throw in a western state is a good group of states to use to get a feel for the candidates. String states like FL, CA, TX, NY out over the next couple of months allowing candidates to spend more time in each state. Maybe group surrounding states into smaller regional primaries - for example, FL, GA AL and MS on the same day. CA, OR and WA on the same day. Continue to have as many debates as possible to allow under funded candidates a little bit of a voice. Allow the parties to select their nominees over a four to five month period of time rather than what we have now which is basically 30 days and done.
Those who did not watch did not see McQueeg clicking his ball point pin or his stiff jaw breaking grin when confronted about his lies about Romney's "Strawberry Timetable"!
What they see in the MSM sound bites this morning is McQueeg challenging Romney on the subject. But they are not playing the beat-down Romney gave McQueeg!
Come to mention it, I did see Dan Rather and Katie Couric coming out of the voting booth at my voting precinct, each wearing a button that said "John McCain - Vote early, Vote often."
the MSM had a huge victory in 2006 and they are flexing their muscle this time too. There is a good chance neither party’s base will get their preferred candidate.
