The problem with Utah being taken for granted is that any issues of importance to Utah will also be ignored unless they are of high importance in an up-for-grabs state.

I agree with JMBell that I’m pretty disgusted with the states that are leap-frogging each other to be first in line. Once Super-Duper-Mega Tuesday is over, we’re going to have NINE MONTHS of general election campaigning. YIKES!

Since Utah’s votes are taken for granted, we’re not as likely as up-for-grabs states to be pummeled and assaulted with nonstop campaigning, but my guess is that by Election Day, most Americans will absolutely hate both major candidates.

Who says that New Hampshire, Iowa, South Carolina or any other traditional early state would be the ones to get in the early part of the primary season? What in my ideas, or the ones I linked to prevent us from shortening or postponing the primary season?

How can you call it total babble if you don’t like the current system – where are you expressing your frustrations besides complaining when someone expresses an idea to change the system?

What, exactly, the hell do those people know about, say, western needs, for example? Answer: not a thing.

I think we ought to choose a month, do two states a day, and let the candidates go where they think it’s important to go. Make it a race again.

That said, all these states rushing to put the primary almost a year before the election make me pretty mad as well.

I think we ought to do it all in May, have the national party conventions in July and have the general in November.

I like, in the future, the idea of a national primary day via the internet.

I don’t have an answer. All I have a a stack of frustrations watching more and more millions getting pumped into an ever longer campaign season.

You know, I just read all this? Total babble. Nothing to see here. Move along.
