How many elections are decided by who gets New Hampshire’s electoral votes?

Lead it off in Texas, Florida, or California.

I think we need 5 ten state primary dates.

On each date 2 southern, 2 northern, 2 eastern, 2 western states, and 2 central states would vote. The states would be chosen by lottery for each election.

I agree w/ you about leading off w/ big states. No offense to those in Iowa or NH...but at some point, it would be nice if a Western state had some actual input in the nominating process.

Tired of being irrelevant to the process.

Keep getting these candidates I do not want to vote FOR. I’ve had to vote ‘against’ for so long...not sure how I would feel if someone was nominated that I could be excited about voting for.

The problem with leading off with a large state, is it may come down to who has the most money as of December 2015. In a state that large, you can't knock on everyone's door and running ads in multiple markets within a state is very expensive. The opportunity for someone not well known to win would be limited.
