I am STILL waiting for the last round of primaries … STILL! I am so bored.
Clinton lies about Bosnian snipers.
Obama says poor folk like to hunt and find solace in religion when the chips are down. OMG!
McCain says that al Qaeda is from the plant Iran in the Alpha Centari system and that we need to build up our Space Fleet to combat the alien terrorist threat* (and where the hell is the media on this one?).
The waiting is killing me here …
So, Ethan and I talked about it on CrossPoint last Wednesday.
Download I AM SO BORED!
*I am all for this idea, btw. How the hell can I start up my evil space pirate conglomerate if there is no space fleet for me to confound and embarrass with my space pirate daring and wit? I mean, come on, NASA, I’m not getting any younger here!
This made my head hurt.
Noooooo, states like New York and California would not inherently get more attention than Middle America.
A political candidate would need to secure (presumably) 51% of their entire parties base – and no, all the Democrats do not live in L.A. or San Francisco.
This is not that advanced of a concept. The mayors race went from 9 candidates to two over night. When you blow that up to the nation we would have 16-20 candidates at the start and 2 to chew over over three or four months.
A national primary is healthy and more true to pure democracy than anything the current system has to offer. The only real disadvantage is that the nation will be flooded with former campaign workers all at once rather than over five or six months!
