A vote for Dean in the MN Caucus was the first vote I ever cast (I turned 18 that spring).

Currently the primaries are set up to be manipulated by the Establishment and their buddies in the MSM, the same buddies who pulled the "Dean Scream" BS.

IMO presidential primaries should be a national popular vote election that takes place over a whole week in August.
