Super Tuesday is today and I am excited about one thing and only one thing about it. You see I am in state that votes AFTER Super Tuesday in fact we don’t do our primary until March. In general no one cares how we vote in the primaries because by March most nominations are sewn up.
Not this year! I will vote in the Republican primary and my vote will matter and so will the votes of others in my state. My guy is Ron Paul and I will stick by him if he has any chance at all by the time we vote, if not I may have to go with Mitt Romney or Mike Huckabee as my second pick. I have not forgotten the sell outs of John McCain on things like McCain - Feingold and McCain - Kennedy I hope my fellow Republicans don’t either.
Yet this post is not about who I am voting for or who you vote for just I want to ask, why is it only in a year like this that my primary election matters? Do you think the primary elections would be better if we had say 4 blocks, 25% of the country in each one and all of it done in 60 days?
I do and further more I would rotate each election which “block” went first. Seems like a much better way to me, what do you think.
