this is really getting ridiculous. just have the states vote alphabetically or something random.

Why not have a national primary where all the states and territories vote in their respective caucus's and primaries on the same day. The results would be held until the last poll closes in American Samoa. That way, no state would have any advantage and we wouldn't be voting in a primary for the candidate 12 years from now......

1) Then the candidate with most visibility will be the media-chosen candidate and not the candidate who does best at the marathon of local / state political races with the grassroots base.
2) You can also say goodbye to Federalism.
3) No winnowing as we had in pre-2008 primaries means the national primary may not decide anything.Back to convention selections.
