Think NJ might have done something more constructive with that money ......???

AND, as far as I can see these advanced primaries serve no one --- except those in the glamour
business where they think it's PR for their state ---

BUT, it does detract from our ability to stay loose and wait for the best candidates to show
themselves --- which can take until November, IMO ---

It also serves the purposes of those who want to quickly "batten down the hatches" ---
before someone better comes along --- or before their candidates proves to be one of the worst!!!

2. Not postive about it, but from a quick check JUNE . . .. and they felt . . .
"they weren't part of the process" . . . !!!!

This, of course, is the press running away with the situation ---

Two votes and they want a winner . . . .

and, in fact, there are a lot of people at DU like that --- !!!
