Why aren't primary elections all on the same day? We have Iowa and New Hampshire essentially deciding who I get to vote for.
There's no longer reason for this!
The Presidential Primary makes about 80% of the nation's vote not worthless. But it does take the wind out of your sails when you hear that your candidate did NOT win Iowa or New Hampshire.
Most of the time, people don't vote after that. And, as we all learned in 2000, when people are led to believe that one candidate has already won, both democrats AND republicans turned around and went home without voting.
What a joke; something needs to change because I've all but lost all hope in our election system.
See http://www.centerforpolitics.org/reform/report_nominating.htm Part 2 (Frontloading) is very interesting.
