It’s not an issue I’m very vocal about, but I definitely think that the presidential primary system needs some serious reworking. Shakes today has a pointer to some interesting facts on this issue and how the current system may be skewing the results in unexpected ways; it’s definitely worth a read.
I hate it that we have to start thinking about this stuff 2+ years before the next presidential elections, but I suppose we need to.
Oh, and if you’re talking about things that skew the system, you cannot ignore the fact that running for President is a multi-year enterprise costing hundreds of millions of dollars. I’d really love to see public financing of elections, but nobody in power would ever vote for that particular change; it’s too threatening to the status quo.
