as a political scientist
I see the primary season transforming the very nature of presidential elections. I have been thinking this for quite some time; it doesn't seem to have hurt the democrats one bit, and both candidates have been able to take much needed breaks from the campaign. The only way McCain can pull this off in the general is if he comes up with a Hail Mary on Iraq, exactly what he's trying and failing to do on his whirlwind tour.
By the way, it keeps Nader out of the fray too.
