If Ron Paul wins Iowa (which I don’t think he will) then Iowa should be stripped of it first in the nation status, because they will have made themselves the laughingstock of the US.

I think that both Iowa and New Hampshire should have been stripped of their leadoff positions long ago. In particular, Iowa has a pernicious record of progressive populism dating back decades. This is the state that brought us Henry Wallace, a commie and Hussein Obama, yet another commie.

Personally, I advocate that Tennessee and then Oklahoma ought to displace Iowa and New Hampshire. Both states have a track record of sanity and Conservatism. And they are small enough so that an inordinate amount of money need not be spent to reach the voters. I think that the people of both Tennessee and Oklahoma are much more in touch with authentic American values than either of the two present states leading off the primaries.

I totally agree. I hate the primary process all together. My vote in GA is totally irrelevant even in the nomination process.

What are the cons to having all the primaries on one day? Then having run offs between the top 2 or 3...

I could live with either of those states leading things off, but I suspect many would object to another southern state being frontloaded.

Maybe another midwest state ... like... wyoming, nebraska, or kansas?

Conservatism is exactly what the RNC and the GOP Elites do NOT want. It will never happen.
