And the Democrats are pitching.
Don't blow it America.
Support FR, support Conservative ideals.

My wife is from New Hampshire.
As long as I have known her and thats about 22 years I rarely see her make a long range intelligent decision.
She just has no vision other than a herd instinct.
lets get a US constitutional amendment to have all state, US Presidential selection votes (primaries/caucus/magic 8 ball, whatever) to occur on the same day.
I am sick of tired of having the vote come to NY with the candidate already picked(for the most part). This ticks me off every election cycle.
No religious affiliation does NOT mean someone is necessarily godless. It means they don't seek Him inside an organization and/or a building.
Five ten state primary dates on a rotation.
Two north, two south, two east, two west, and two central.
I think it would be great to change it up some and have a different state beginning the process. However, it would still have to be a small, cheap advertising state or smaller candidates will not be able to compete. I mean if we start with Florida that would be a disaster because of the very high cost of advertising. South Carolina would not be a bad state to begin with but I think their advertising is expensive too.
exactly or all 50 states must be contested, not one or two then dropouts. Everyone should get a chance to vote on all candidates.
You judge an entire state by YOUR wife? :-) Hey, she married you, didn't she? New Hampshire is hardly the only state in the union to produce a person with herd instincts and no vision. My advice is to get out and meet a few other folks from New Hampshire.
You think that is any different than in any other state? LMAO!
why not all on the same day???
The answer is NO, but not for the reasons mentioned in the article.
New Hampshire’s problems are that it is an open primary state, permitting Independents and crossover Democrats to vote and that there are minimal residency requirements, allowing college students and residents from neighboring states to register and vote the same day.
no
Sometimes I don’t think any of the states are capable of picking a suitable president. Look at all the poor choices so many have made just for the U.S. Senate. It’s the American people who repeatedly let us down.
I agree on getting the primaries all on the same day. Think about how much time, money, and energy has been expended by GOP candidates in Iowa and NH and then think about how these states normally vote in the general elections. Uhuh......this is madness is it not?
I agree. A friend of mine many years ago said something to the effect that the average John Q American was too uninformed to make intelligent decisions with respect to governance.
Not if they plan on picking Romney. Americans just don’t like Romney!
Are you saying we should do away with the caucuses and primaries and just do the general election?
That sounds really good...!! We NEED to change the system and we have to use our voice to get it changed!!!!
I think giving people a week or so to think about things between primary dates is a good idea. Plus candidates may decide to drop out after 1, 2, or 3 dates.
In any case this crap we have now is a mess. The media is talking like the race will be over today after a fraction of a percent of Americans get to vote.
