One more thing I would argue. Primaries keep being moved up by various states because of what? Isn’t it precisely because the first few states have all the power. So states feeling left out keep trying to find a better position so they have more say and power. Either make these things last longer so that later states play a part or make the entire primary the same day for the entire country. That’s a fix. Ignoring precisely why the primary season has gone wild just because people see an opportunity to take down their opponent won’t solve anything in the long run. Next time it will be their ox being gored. In this case, Hillary is the one representing the true interests of a republic. (I’m not claiming that her motive unselfish, just that her act is in the best interest of we-the-people in this instance.)

There is no doubt in my mind that McCain benefited from primary mischief in the early going. I agree with your points.
