The Primaries

The US’s political system is definitely not perfect, but it’s damn better than most out there. However, I just can’t help but noting that perhaps this primary buisness has gone on for a little to long. Why don’t we just have the primaries withing a month or so of eachother. I know that the candidates want to visit the states and all, but come on, this is flat out stupid. I’d even go for within three months of eachother. In fact, with this whole Clinton-Obama stretch, the democratic party is possible hurting itself. McCain can sit back and prepare for the presidentials, but Obama and Clinton are racing across the country from state to state. In fact, if this crazy system is here to stay, why don’t states bordering eachother have primaries at similar times. This way at least the candidates can move from general are to general area. I’m not dissing the way our country works, I’m just saying sometimes it might be worth taking a step back at looking at the picture on a whole.
