Two states down, now let us give the other 48 have a voice in
the pre-election process. It makes my blood boil when I hear that all is lost for any candidate, not just my own choice. Until the whole country has a voice in the caucus and primary elections, how is the procedure fair? Should 2 states determine the rest of the nation? Not only is it not fair but how can 2 small states determine the fate of any candidate with accuracy. Last night you'd think that the primary election in NH was the last word for any Democrat. Lay off, all you doomsday or overconfident Cable and Network news-folks and let the rest of the country make their choice known.

2. The MSM has already determined who the winners are
Last week Obama was going to be Democratic nominee and Huckleberry was going to cary the Republicon flag.

This week Hillary Clinton is going to be our next President and McCain is going to be on the ballot for the republicons in Nov.

Our vote does not count.

3. I'll admit, I don't understand the primary system or timing...
Someone was kind enough to post a list of primaries by state with two columns of dates. I'm not sure what that means. But, what purpose does it serve if some states are holding primaries 2 months later if by the time their turn comes, the candidate field is whittled down so much? I saw March and May dates, iirc.
