-- Back when there were no cars or planes or television, it made sense to stagger the primaries. --

Before cars, there weren't primaries. The first primary election (a creation of the political parties) was in 1910.

My bad. Still, transportation and communication were not then what they are now.

Thanks for the info. I still say the primary system is grossly unfair. It is often decided before I even get to vote.
