Talking about representation on C-Span now
We want all genders represented, just heard that statement. lol.

Hey here's a thought how about somebody other than a white person at the caucus place on C-Span. I think during the whole time I've watched this I saw one black guy sitting down. How great on MLK's birthday, what seems like a white power rally is helping decide the nominee. A state with more diversity should vote first. When I heard the Edwards, Edwards chant earlier, I almost expected a white power, white power chant to break out. No offense to Edwards, as I think he is a progressive guy.

1. Yeah, that is one flaw.
Although there is the Washington DC primary, that doesn't count.

The first racially diverse primary is South Carolina.

If you ask me, they should have four rotations: each region should rotate states (so this year it's Iowa, NH, SC; in 2008 it's Nebraska Connecticut, NC) and then also rotate regions (so this year the midwestern state goes first, then in 2008 the southern state goes first, then in 2012 the New England state).
