On the whole damned process!
You’re welcome......
I support a constitutional amendment stating that all federal primaries must be held between April 15th and April 30th
I hate the primary process. If they can tweek it so a few northern states don’t dictate the direction of rest of the primaries, then it will be an improvement.
The window just shrunk further for Palin and Christie.
And this isn’t the end, the leap frogging will continue. I heard speculation that when all the dust clears the first primaries will be at the beginning of December, 8 weeks from now.
You are welcome...
I too am in favor of a national primary day which seems the fair way to do this...

If that's impossible, they should not be permitted more than four months before the election (in 2012, that would be July 6).
Can't Republicans figure out that the enemy has captured the "process", and that twelve-eighteen months of enemedia exposure is dangerous to our candidate?
On top of that, the results of every contested process since 1980 have been disastrous.
It's time to reconfigure the nominating process in a way that hurts, rather than helps, the enemy.
Sadly, the main issue is that the RNC is essentially DNC Lite. Until that is fixed, the process of choosing the Republican candidate is broken.
When did we start having primaries on Saturday?

The RNC should have made a compact with Florida to not advance the primary date in return for being chosen as the host for the republican convention.
It’s not too late for the RNC to demand Florida return to the original primary date or lose the convention.
There are many other states and cities that would be glad to host the convention next summer.
On the whole damned process!
And yes only registered republican should be able to vote for our candidate. That's how we got stuck with McCrazy.
Are our RNC learnin?
I'm doubtful but maybe this will help break the 30 year lock the party has allowed Iowa & NH to have in the nomination process at the expense of the other 48 states.
Can we just get to where this is eventually headed and go ahead and vote for the 2016 candidate while we are at it?
