and good luck.

As a resident of the MW I would hope a future election would bring more discussion and media coverage to the larger states. It is my opinon that the primaries should be shorter (thus not boring the h... out of us). It should be on the same day in all states. Picking a few states for the debates, etc. is just plain undemocratic. Industrial (or previously so) states have no say as to the Primary candidates or platform until the actual election. It's too late then.

I'm also upset that the VP is chosen by the Presidential candidate and party leaders not the delegates at the convention. The VP can become President so we party members should have a say about the candidate and their party goals too. Today, the convention ends up being just a big pep rally when all is said and done.

Members of the Democratic Party need to do real changes in the future. What we have now is not working but for the few elite. Our party base values are important.
