Her Iraq, Bolton and Iran votes are wack but I don’t think she’d start a war.

DUH… it was Romney, not Huckabee for Maine. Like it makes a snowball’s chance in hell’s difference! ;)

West Virginia GOP is projected as a Huckabee win… he also got Maine last weekend. That was a big surprise; Ron Paul was thought to be ahead here. Dems are this upcoming weekend.

And DAS, I say vote Mommy in 2008 and then sell a Democratic daddy who will save the kids from having to eat their vegetables in 2012;)

Just a slight correction Hector B., I said two state per region. There is sufficient diversity in each region to justify using two. If each region is 10 states then you might have one state more agricultural and another more urban. Each candidate would save on travelling because they are only dealing with one chunk of the country per week, they could even carpool ;) You could focus on regional politics more than national ones in the primaries and hold the candidates feet to the fire in a more targetted way.

When I’ve seen references to dividing the country into regions, the purpose has been to let one region go first each election cycle. I like Hawise’s idea of having one representative of each region hold their primary at the same time, because that ensures that candidates have a nationwide appeal.

There are 22 states with democrat primaries. But there are 24 states holding primaries (some are republican only, some democrat only).

Another late primary stater here. Indiana doesn’t go until May. We’re not a swing state anyway, and my votes (pretty much never Republican) have never counted for anything here.

How about next time, the primaries be held in alphabetical order. Screw Wyoming.

I like that! But I never understood why we just don’t go vote at the same damn time anyway. Think of the money saved by the candidates alone.
