Moving the California primary up to Super Tuesday [View all]

has accomplished something I see as a positive. It has narrowed the field at an earlier date, thereby reducing the overall expenditure of donor money for primary campaigning. This is a finite resource and this leaves more money available for the presidential race after the nominee is chosen.

If you think it has had any negative effects, I would welcome those comments in this thread also.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
