@philly peef,
please give us late-state primary voters a chance to influence the outcome of the primaries. I hope that Edwards and Kucinich stay in the race until the bitter end. One reason why we end up with such crappy nominees and such crappy government social policies is because of the anti-Democratic nature of the primary schedule.
The four first states - IA, NH, NV, SC, and keep in mind that only two were real primaries - send 6 GOP senators and 2 Democratic Senators to Washington; and they send 6 GOP representatives and 6 Democratic representatives. (And little NH has inflicted not one, but TWO John Sununus on the body politic. Not very impressive.) No wonder we can't get anything progressive done in Washington.
I was talking to a paid employee of the DNC last night (I serve on the financial committee of my local county Dem Party), and he simply couldn't believe that I refused to give money to the DNC. Voters need to hold the DNC and the RNC to account by refusing to raise or give money. It's the only thing these guys understand.
