Remember a couple days ago when I said If it were up to me.... and I proposed a new way of doing the primaries that would be more fair? That post did get linked to by about 40 sites... but apparently not everyone likes to give credit. Check this out on Shakespeare's Sister:
It wouldn’t have to be hard. Divide the country up into five groups of states, starting with the 10 smallest, then next-10 smallest, and so forth. Run 10-state primaries every other week from the first Tuesday of February through the first Tuesday of April. If you want, put Iowa and New Hampshire in the first group for old-time’s sake. Craft a federal law that sets basic criteria for the primary: the value of each state in delegates, the means of apportioning delegates. Give the parties some input, but make this a federally operated election — meaning it’s time to eliminate caucuses, and replace them with primaries.
Dude, that's uncool.
