To Kenmcg, first of all whatever happened to “state rights”and ability to exercise the best way to run their individual state elections.
Second of all If all the primaries were held on the same day, how would the candidates get around and introduce themselves to each state.
Third.. First impressions of a candidate are not always accurate, the process reveals who should be the nominee for each party in each state.
Fourthly,only 4 debates tell us nothing about who the candidates are.
Last.. Virginia is not a waste of voters rights in primaries and caucuses, they have their rules and guidelines to be elected in their state, they are posted on every Sec. of States website in every state, how to qualify to be on the ballot. Look it up, do your homework.

Do your homework! Wow Va. is getting to choose between Paul or Romney, big whoop! The voters are being denied the opportunity to vote for other candidates. These are federal offices these folks are running for. Should Iowa or New Hampshire have so much sway to nominate as they do now? I think not.This is 2012 not 1812 when there was no mass communication. If a voter can’t choose a candidate without looking him in the eye and shaking their hand shame on them.
