Okay, so we all know that the way primaries in the Unites States should really be held on the same day across the country right? I am just so sick and tired of the money making process that is the primaries in the US right now! Certain states go first (aka New Hampshire and Iowa) and make the decision about who will be or not be the candidate for the rest of the country. Its completely skewed - only 100 people vote in the Iowa caucuses!!!! This brings theses states LOTS of money - its all about the money here folks. This year some states got fed up with their limited say in who their presidential candidate was going to be. So, they moved up their primaries, its a state's prerogative! I would want to protect the power of my vote in the decision making process of who is going to be the next leader of America! But what did the party leaders do? They took away their delegate votes!!! I don't even know what to say to that. I was sure that violates some kind of constitutional right or something, but apparently it doesn't. The only proper thing to do to make it right by all the states is to hold all the primaries in the same time period. This long held out process is a hidden form of elitism to weed out all third party candidates or other candidates who may not have the money for a three year race. Its ridiculous.
