Is it not time to junk the party methods of selecting nominees for president? If we have not outgrown party politics, perhaps it is time we did. Florida and Michigan should be able to set their primaries for whenever they want, given the current system. This year has been a mess, and we aren't done yet. Who says that a few guys in power should call the shots?
How about having a national primary weekend? Let the people of America vote on a Saturday and a Sunday for a candidate of their choice by declaring their party selection and selecting a declared candidate from that party's ballot. If no candidate gets 50% of the vote within their party, then there should be a weekend run-off of the top party candidates to name the nominee for that particular party. We could skip the conventions.
James Madison mistrusted political parties. He was right about church and state, and maybe it is time to trust the electorate to choose a party's nominee rather than the current power brokers.
Even Britney Speers or Paris Hilton could do better. What do you think?
