[quote cbelt3]Yet again, our defective election system makes a bunch of yahoos in Iowa the most important people in the US.
I'd rather see a primary run just like the main election- all at the same time across the US, none of this inky dinky state pushing one candidate above the other.
I've been saying the same thing about holding them all on the same day. It's idiocy to do it the way they do now.
(as for Iowa being a bunch of Yahoos, I may secretly believe that but wouldn't state it publicly ;-) What I will say is that compared to many states they aren't exactly what one would refer to as culturally diverse and thus don't represent what we as a country are supposed to).
