February 25, 2008, 11:26am (report abuse)It's counterproductive to an open and fair democratic process for the entire country that states are individually deciding when to hold presidential primaries. Candidates can't effectively mount a campaign when half the states hold a primary on the same day in early February. Minor candidates won't be able to have enough time to be introduced and heard. Large states will hold disproportionate sway, and people in different parts of the country won't have equal access to the candidates.
Please contact your congress members and urge your support for S.1905 and its companion bill, H.R. 3487. No system is perfect, but these bills will introduce 4 regional primaries, one per month from March to June, with the regions rotating each election for the first position.
