And this process has somehow stopped the guy with the most money from winning? Come on, the two candidates on the Dem side who had the most money are 1 and 2. Just like almost every primary in recent memory.

That process also basically says that only a few states matter. Half the candidates are out of the race by the time you get to Super Tuesday. Iowa and New Hampshire voters count much more than the rest of the country which is retarded.
