No one is forcing you to "honor the tradition" of your first in the nation primary, New Hampshire. It's pathetic the way New Hampshire and Iowa force themselves to be relevant every four years.

Not to mention how many Massholes (in this case college kids, only mostly) can drive up with no ID , register and vote in ten minutes! It’s such a scam!

Perhaps it is “pathetic” but they are going to do it nonetheless and Florida should have known it.

They do it for the money generated by candidates, news crews, etc. I’m guessing its worth millions to the state economy. Going to look it up right now....

If we have to have primaries ( I think they are a very bad idea and should be abandoned), th first primary should be May 6, 2012 and the last August 15.

I’m so tired of the overinflated amount of importance and attention Iowa and New Hampshire get. NH basically single-handily revived McCain’s campaign from the dead in 2008. Please put some conservative states up front, or at the very least any states other than those two.

Go for it, NH. That leaves your influence that many months behind much earlier than before.

New Hampshire and their vote for the scumbag con man Romney are about as relevant as Kazakhstan in terms of picking the GOP nominee

Sorry, find another way to fill up your goddamned “Bed and Breakfast” joints.

When the hell is somebody going to pound a stake through the vampire FLIP MYTH SLICK WILLARD RINO ROMNEYS heart?

This is a son of a bitch who supported baby killing into his late 40’s and supports homosexual “marriage” and forced all Mass residents who work to buy medical insurance or be fined by the Mass department of Revenue.

His grandfather was a polygamist and his clan of cowards all somehow have managed to avoid MILITARY SERVICE,(yet he he running for CIC).

At least the Kenyan muslim Baraka Hussein vacationer in chief doesn’t pretend to be a conservative.

FLIP MYTH SLICK WILLARD RINO ROMNEY needs to be destroyed.

This is getting ridiculous.

Perhaps it’s time to go back to the smoke-filled rooms.

Just sayin’...

If the parties had any brains, they would assign extra delegates to the states which waited. That would help blunt the influence of the attention whores.

Having all the state primaries on the same day, as with the general elections, would really blow their minds.

It's actually law in New Hampshire that their primary be first. So, if the Secretary of State did not move it to make sure it is the first, he would be acting illegally...believe it or not.

They don’t care if they lose half their delegates. Money and history is more important.

This is so dumb of Floriduh that it must be stopped. It's good to have the early states be low cost states so it doesn't just come down to the best financed candidates.

Want to shut down Cain and make this a Ronmey/Perry act? Hold early primaries in states with large numbers of delegates. Take half the delegates away again and distribute them to states that hold off. Tell NH and SC that they can double their delegates by waiting.

Part of the PROBLEM in this country is the “perpetual campaign”. No sooner is one election over then the campaigning starts again for the next election. I can’t stand it and it’s killing the country. NO campaign should start more then 6 months before the election.

New Hampshire’s potentially much more of a Christie state than a Palin state, so of the two late entrants, if either one was running this would hurt him more than her.

Fixed it.

This is getting ridiculous. Now two year campaigns are going to be three, maybe even four years long. When do we expect the people we send to DeeCee to actually work if they’re on a perpetual campaign?

I know, I know, they don’t do much work now, and the quality of the work they’re performing when they do work is sub par. But you know what I mean.
