Is there a primary in your state today?

I just went out and voted for Edwards.

 

Any comments/thoughts on how tonight will go primary-wise?

I voted for Dean.

 

Man I want him to run against Bush. Pure comedy.

Kerry wins most of them, but Edwards cruises in South Carolina and puts in strong second-place finishes in most of the others. If Kerry can't win Oklahoma or South Carolina, bully for whoever does, because they can spend the next week cutting him down for not being electable in the South.

 

I'm wondering most whether or not Lieberman will drop out, or if we get a few more weeks of asinine "Joemomentum."

Were the MD primaries today? If so, Oops. I spent the whole day either at work or in bed. I'm going back to bed. Then back to work tonight. The democratic party can take care of themselves. They'll probably not get my vote ANYWAYS.

I think the WA primaries are in the next few weeks.

Is it just me or does anybody else think the primary system should be scrapped and replaced with national primaries?

No, you didn't miss it, it's on March 2nd I believe. Now that Joe has dropped out, I'm not going to bother getting an absentee ballot so I can vote from school...

I agree, as a state with a late primary I feel like I'm getting screwed in the choice department. My top 2 candidates, Lieberman and Gephart going in to primary season are not even going to be around to vote for when my primary comes around. Theoretically what if we had given them a large number of votes? Perhaps then, they wouldn't have dropped out on account of a few states not supporting them. I think there should be a national primary, where, say the top 4 vote getters remain. Then they can campaign some more for a few weeks until a second national primary is held with the final four (and from those results the delegates are chosen). I think that would be a lot more fair to the later states, and to candidates that felt forced out because of lack of support early.
