Let's try again - for the DNC rules - what would you like to see changed for 2012 and beyond?

[Hawkeye-X]

I really would like to know...

I think the concept of superdelegates needs to go.

1. Rule #1: Nominate a candidate who actually can win

Rule #2: If you really want to nominate a triangulating pro-war centrist, see rule #1.

2. Good topic.

I would like to see the contests opened up for January, so that Iowa and New Hampshire lose their franchise, and so that they are spread around more in time.

I'd love to see a contest or two a week for the first three months of the year.

Super Tuesday is a dumb idea. Spread the wealth. Stop trying to have an early coronation.

[Renew Deal]

3. Super Tuesday would be the last day, not in the middle.

Super Tuesday should be the last primary day.

4. regional primaries

within two weeks of each other. All candidates stay in the race, so everyone has the right to vote for their favorite.

No super delegates.

5. What do you mean "all candidates stay in the race"?

Once they announce, they're in until the convention? How would that work?

7. They could stop campaiging, but their names would stay on all ballots

So that voters could vote for them if they so desire. I'm tired of not having my candidate's name even appear on my primary ballot--and Arkansas doesn't allow write in votes.

6. All primaries

and no caucuses so every vote really does count. Divide the states into four or five regions and rotates the early states every four years. There are too many supporters who don't get the opportunity to vote for their candidate as they are often eliminated after the first and second states.
