reasonable? I'm using FACTS and LOGIC. I don't have a dog in this race I'm not for either candidate. That makes me the MOST reasonable

However, I will say this.
The reason small states are allowed to go first is that if California was first, or New York was first, only candidates with a shitload of money would have a chance.

Isn't that what happened this year and every year? Obama had the most money he's first. Hillary had the 2nd most money she's 2nd. Edwards had the 3rd most he came in 3rd.

.If all 50 states went at the same time, it would be the same scenario.

So. Then how come we don't do the general election this way? Isn't it unfair to small states?

Small states like New Hampshire require retail politics to win. You can't just blanket the state with an ad buy, you have to get out and meet the voters and tell your story. That way everyone has a chance.

please that means shit. I'm not voting for a guy because he came to town. Wesley Clark was the only dem that came to my town in 2004. I still voted for Edwards. Having a guy tell you bullshit in person makes a difference to you?

Also, your argument that you don't like the rules so therefore there should be no penalty for people who break the rules isn't very persuasive.
|
Are you retarded? seriously. If was the Florida GOP that violated the rules. You are blaming the VICTIM.

I'm also pretty sure that if FL and MI try to pull this again in 2012 the penalty will be more severe. So your argument that "so what if it's 50% we still have alot of delegates" doesn't hold much water either.

Not if they don't change the rules before then.
Quote:
If you want the rules changed there's a process for that. (and the rules did change some this year with South Carolina and Nevada being allowed to go before Super Tuesday)
You don't break the rules and then ask them to be changed afterwards to suit your purposes....otherwise, it's chaos.

the whole nomination process is reatrded. maybe thats why I'm leaning libertarian this year. fuck the two party retards.
