    I agree. I don't get the whole staggered system anyway...all it does is encourage candidates to lie and pander to each state's demographics in order to win. Well that and concentrate influence in the "first in the nation" states. All primaries/caucuses should be closed, and they should all be held on the same day. If nobody wins 50% +1 then auto-runoff. Although I concede that the above quoted suggestion is 100% more likely to occur than what I mentioned.

    ETA: Oh yeah, and +1 Asmo.
