j0eg0d ::: Favorites 2008-01-05 12:06:02 These primaries & caucuses are a media creation. I believe it would become much more difficult to manipulate their polls if our nation's local media were handling their own. You can already find the discrepancies of these polls when you compare the one's they broadcast with the one's they have here on the internet. But YES changing that ... probably impossible. __________________________________________________ | |

Good luck convincing 3/4 of state legislatures to do it all on the same day. I think gerrymandering in of itself shows how self seeking legislatures can be. Although if you can get a consensus then more power to you! __________________________________________________ | |
Supertack21 ::: Favorites 2008-01-05 05:21:42 The idea of a nationwide primary has it's benifits, however in my opinion the biggest downfall of this is that the person with the most money has a better chance of winning because they can show more commercials. Since canditates can't be in 50 states at the same time they rely hugely on advertising. Although it is better for the states later on in the primary process. __________________________________________________ | |

Engelheart ::: Favorites 2007-12-24 02:27:50 Okay, why would you like to be the man making decisions? Are you some kind of powerhungry freak? It's okay if you are since most politicians today are. You should watch The Dictator by Charlie Chaplin. __________________________________________________ |
