Reply #13: Good To See You [View All]

Happy New Year, my friend :toast:

I hadn't seen you around lately...glad to see you back. And as usual, we are in agreement.

The money thing is a necessary evil as the primary/silly season is now a three year event that all but kicked into high gear last January and has been consuming money and resources since. The whole campaign/primary system has created a cottage industry of consultants and advisors and polsters who now make a nice buck on this gravy train.

I expect the primary system to be very different in 2012 due to all the horsetrading and date jumping by many states that lead to this super-front loaded system that will all but name the nominee by Valentine's Day. The DNC will take control of this fiasco...my hopes are they set up regional primaries...kinda like playoffs...a serious of states...north, south, west, big, small on several given Tuesdays in April through June...the onto the Convention in July/August. Yeah, I know I'm dreaming. LOL.

Cheers...
