Reply #98: Because it's true. [View All]

Dean said so two years ago, and it's still true today. front loaded primaries ARE a sure way to fix the primary election (by fix, I mean not the good way) The caucus system is also a way to keep the voice of the electorate down. I've always voted democratic, yet have never voted in a presidential primary, because sitting at a meeting to caucus seemed too intimidating. I did it this year because of Howard Dean, and caucussed for him (long after he dropped out) I will caucus from now on (though it may be with the green party depending on the direction our party goes in the next couple of years)

Front loaded primaries and the caucus system will kill our party, if the DLC and other capitulating, centrist bastardization doesn't do it first.
