We Need to Reclaim the Primary Process

[LWolf]

7. I said something like this after '08, which was unbelievably unbalanced.

My primary was in late May, MONTHS after there were only 2 unacceptable (to me) candidates left standing, and the nomination had already been called for Obama before anyone in my state cast a vote.

I was told that a single day for a primary would not be fair because candidates, especially those with fewer campaign funds, could not campaign in all 50 states at once.

I concede half a point for that, but would still like to see everybody's primary on the same day, and no reporting out until all results are in. Having Iowa and New Hampshire decide who I can vote for in my own primary is insulting, to say the least.

I'd also like to see what passes for "debates" go away. I'd like to see several national debates moderated by actual debate moderators, that ask every candidate the same questions, and the same number of questions. Equal talking time. Put them on CSPAN.
