While I am certainly no supporter of Senator Clinton, I am sickened by the continual assault by the press on the people's right to choose among the candidates based on their positions on issues. Campaigns are being routinely presented as if they were ongoing soap operas. The members of the Fifth Estate should acknowledged their unethically premature dismissal of some of the candidates through negative editorializing and just plain not covering their campaigns.
We need a national primary on a single day to give everyone a chance to vote for the candidate of his/her choice. This would help focus the press on meaningful coverage of the campaigns without all the coverage of "campaign drama", which does little to advance our ability to select wisely among the candidates.
