I can understand why people resent the role voters in Iowa and New Hampshire play in choosing Presidential candidates, but be assured the people in both states take their responsibility very seriously. Voters in the big states like New York, California and Florida get to play their part in the Electoral College contest. This scrambling to get ahead of New Hampshire is damaging to the process. A national primary would be disastorous. You might as well let the media choose our President. They have too much influence already. I think the people who framed our Constitution meant for the President to be chosen state by state. They did not envision the role the two major political parties play in the process though. I think they meant it to be MORE like Iowa and New Hampshire, not less.

I would like to see all states vote on the same day. It should be a national primary vote. The number of votes would decide how many delegates to send to the conventions. It would give us less of all this bickering and lying to endure through the process. This may take some voice from smaller states, but in the end the results would be the same. Not to mention the cost would reduce to a reasonable level.

Just for the record, I remember hearing someone say something about dyslexia and I think they were referring to me, well that is stupid. I just couldn't remember the order of Collins numbers. 724 or 427

So according to A Thomas from New York, Rudy Giuliani should not campaign in Florida because the Democrats told him not to? This is America my friend and much as Democrats want to suppress freedom of speech, it ain't gonna happen. And it is more honest to talk to the voters while your trying to raise cash from them rather than the Democrat hypocrisy of not letting their "principles" stand in the way of still raising cash there.

So-
You have no problem with Mitt and his ever changing stances on the major issues?? Do you really think what you see is what you get?? Do a little research, find out what his positions were when he was running for Senator and Governor of MA. you will see a totally different Mitt. And now that he needs the Religious Right vote, he all of the sudden sees Jesus as his personal savior, he wasn't saying that before.He is one BIG compromise!

MY COMMENT:

The reason why Giulian has revered hillary's earlier lead is becasuse giuliani shamelessly campaigned in florida recently, while hillary has followed the party decision to punish dlorida for unilaterally moving up its primary date.

It shows that giuliani has no moral priniciples (ditto for his marriage vows), and that the republican party has less harsh rules and it cannot force its candidates to follow its rules for punishing florida for moving up the primary date, or the party will try to get votes at any costs.

Giuliani and the republican party will pay for this error in judgement in the next election.

Well,well – aren't we excited about Iowa. Look, nobody gives a farkle in Oklahoma what Iowa does (unless it's in football)

Michigan & Florida voters need to complain to their states representatives to have their dates moved back to Feb 5th like they agreed prior to the start of the primaries.

How many Super Bowls or World Series teams get to change the rules during a season. If two NFL teams decided during a season to disregard the NFL and move their games around. The NFL would sanction them and ignore the games.
You CANNOT ALLOW this. Obama and the other candidates who took their names off are correct. Hillary is not taking hers off in MI or Florida because those would be the only states she will carry due to no other candidate being on the ballots against her.
If a candidate supports the DNC and also will not campaign in MI or FL, Then WHY keep your name on the ballot? This is ALL a pathetic attempt to keep candidates that cannot Lead and make the tough decisions and choose to ride the fence on this issue, a chance to stay in the race after defeats in Iowa, NH and SC. HOW can you be president and not be able to make the right decisions?

It may be cold in Iowa but Mitt Romney warms my heart.
He's hot Paris Hilton hot!

Mitt Romney is on fire the more we get to know about this guy the more we like him, he is the only guy that is not a compromise candidate. He is building a name quick out there he got what it takes.
Cold Iowa caucas for the democrats so much for Globull warming.

It won't be as cold as Broom Hilda's heart, if she has one.
Hillary has aged 10 years in the last year she is not up to the task.
The country seems to warming up to Mitt Romney.
