Is Super Tuesday a bad idea ? Too Many States
I think there are too many States on one day. It is too much for the candidates. What do you think?

2. It was setup by the DNC in an effort to coronate the "establishment" candidate...
...in this year's case, Hillary.

Going to backfire though, I think.

The idea was that only candidates that had enough money could compete on ST, and therefore it would weed out any insurgent candidacies.

Then a funny thing happened.... Obama raised more money than Hillary.

3. the GE is ALL 50 at once. Primaries should be the same
in my opinion, at least. It gives each state an influence based only on their delegate count (not whether they vote early or late).
