>>I'd also like to see a primary system that gives every state a meaningful vote. The one I've heard about that I like lets Iowa and NH keep their early dates, but then divides the states into four groups by size. Starting from the group of smallest states, you have a primary day once a month, with one group voting. Done right, no one can get enough delegates until the last of the four dates, so every state gets some clout.

>If we get a wish, why not make it ALL state's primaries and caucuses being done ALL in the same day. No advantages for anyone. I know, it wont happen, tradition and what have you, but why not? Unfair and silly to have a system where, when it gets to some states it's all already been decided. Also silly to be jockeing to be first. Stupid and costly too.

>And don't get me started on why do we have elections on a Tuesday instead of a Sunday like everywhere else in the world. Doesn't it make sense to have it on an off-work day?
