3. Yes, yes and yes. I'd like run-off voting for the primary and eliminate the whole delegate thing.
Caucuses - suck. - Not democratic.
Superdelegates - suck. - ibid.
The schedule - sucks. - unfair favoritism to unrepresentative states. (Iowa and New Hampshire, for Pete's sake?)

I'd simply like to see the whole delegate system abandoned and install a run off voting system.

Basically, keep it to a schedule of a few states (but not always the same) in the beginning, then trickle more states in the following weeks to allow a shake out to occur.

At the end, if one candidate doesn't have 50% support, then have a second election of the top two, majority wins.

It's time to abandon the electoral system as well...
