The Problem with Our Current Primary System

[Le Taz Hot]

6. I understand the problem.

But I think we could counter that in three ways:

1) Conduct all primaries on the same day,
2) prohibit the parties (somehow???) from getting involved in any race until after the candidate is established, and
3) mount grassroots efforts (we did it with Dean -- until 2003, no one had ever heard of him) in all 50 states for each challenger.

I'm open to suggestions but I'm just fed up with the current closed system which leaves too many out of the primary, and, therefore, the decision-making process of establishing candidates for statewide and national elections.
