It's great that all these states that campaigns never pay attention have a say in the primaries |
|
Maine, Washington, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas, Ohio... none of these states ever get paid attention in the primary process. The primaries are usually effectively over by the time they vote. I'm so glad they finally get their say!

But when is the last time those two states decided anything in the primaries?

Yes, speaking as a Washingtonian, a state that is hardly neglible in terms of population and economic significance, it is nice to finally feel like part of the process. Not that the system is "fixed" by any means. I think something like that bill which posits four regional primaries with the order changing each time is what is called for. It would give the candidates time to focus on each area, without spreading their energies too thinly. And no part of the country would feel "left out."
