I hope you aren’t suggesting the government mandate the primary setup.

And it should be noted that even the “conservatives” running now are more just Nanny-Staters than conservatives.

If every primary was held on the same day, it might just cause more of a homogenous voting pattern, as well as give the media even more power in how the effect voting. Ideally it would allow a larger diversity among voters, and clearly take away the ridiculous importance of Iowa and New Hampshire, but conversely could allow the media to completely tilt the election in favor of one candidate. I support the idea of voting into August; the election process starts so early it distracts from that which is more important: the implementation of policy and having congressman actually focusing on the jobs they were already elected to.

No only the primary date which is the problem in all this. If this is not possible then I think it should go back to what was originally written in the Constitution that too would restore some sanity to the process and effectively end the two party choke hold. Right now most states or rather voters are cheated out of any say in the presidential primaries. The party voters would still have sole control over who they nominate and their convention date etc. As well the independent parties would still be able to chose in the manner they always have via Convention usually.

It's either that or every state is going to have to make January 1 as primary day on their own free will or it's voters be left out of the process entirely. The idea is to get the actual will of the people and not the will of several liberal ststes who have early primaries.
