Only a strong "virtual" candidate will win a super primary. It is obvious |

that retail campaigning for Feb 5th is a physical impossibility. We will muddle along this Feb, but the best candidate will spend 5-10 hours a day getting live feeds(or bring local newscaster to a studio) for local TV stations newscasters.
Right now, IMO only Romney(with Bain clearchannel), Bloomberg, and Christian Broadcasting Network have the technical ability or $$$ to pull it off.
This will be the last hurray for Iowa and NH.

It's okay; NH and Iowa are both far too white and too Republican to have anything to do with choosing the Democrats' candidate.
In NH, we allow independents (technically, "un- declared" voters) to cross-over into either primary, and we Democrats routinely have a huge cross-over of "independents" into our primary. But these "independents aren't really independent; they're just Republicans who register as independent because their wives would refuse to sleep with them if they registered as the gay-hating, women-hating, gun- loving Republicans that they really are.
The faster the Democrats cut their ties with NH, the better it will be for the national party.

great memories of another time, sitting around waiting for the early midnight returns from NH.

3. They long ago should have been tossed aside. Who anointed them with the |

power to choose our candidates anyway?
