That's why I think California should have the FIRST primary. We're the biggest, most populous state. More Californians are affected by ANYTHING that goes on in Washington than the population of ANY other state in the union. Just by the numbers. Our mushrooming population includes the fastest-growing Latino population in the country, and you know that is a trend that won't start shrinking anytime soon. We have the largest Congressional delegation and the largest haul of Electoral College votes. WE should go first.
And why should the sparcely-populated mostly-rural states get to speak first and with the loudest voices? Why are the urban areas, with HUGE populations by comparison, shoved to the back of the line? Cities are where the need is, and where the numbers are. Cities are the cutting edge of evolution, progress, new ideas, and change. And seems to me THAT'S what should go first.
