Quoted:
The Media is the one that makes a big deal about it, so that draws the candidates in to get more media attention. That draws more media. See the circle. Iowa and NH are just smart enough to keep the pot boiling so the money is spent here.
ETA: I don't think you all realize. This is not a primary. This is a caucus. An informal, non binding poll. It really means nothing other than to create hoopla for the media. Iowa holds a caucus, NH holds a primary. |

Quoted:
You mean that you don't like having two states with a combined population of about 5 million deciding the fate of candidates? But according to the Paulbots Iowa didn't matter at all so it's OK that they handed it to mitt commie. |

Quoted: Quoted: Quoted: You would think the GOP would start a primary season in a state that went for the GOP in the last general. To do anything else is more than a bit retarded. Why reward a state that did not bring home the bacon in the general.  The RNC has nothing to do with when a state has a primary. The states are free to determine that for themselves. Not to say the RNC or DNC don't spend money to sway the decision one way or the other to help their perceived cause. Then why was the RNC threatening to take away delegates from states that wanted bump their primaries ahead of Iowa? Iowa and NH can have their early primaries just so long as other states such as Florida are allowed to as well. I don't want states with demographics that do not represent most of the country weeding out candidates that might have a shot in a less white, less evangelical state. You think NH is an evangelical state?  A 2009 Gallup survey found that New Hampshire was the second-least religious state in the country, one of a small handful in which less than 50 percent of residents said religion is an important part of their daily lives.

Quoted: Quoted: You mean that you don't like having two states with a combined population of about 5 million deciding the fate of candidates? But according to the Paulbots Iowa didn't matter at all so it's OK that they handed it to mitt commie. Winning in NH doesn't guarantee a candidate the nomination. Examples: Democrat: 2008: Hillary won NH, Obama got the nomination and became President 2004: Kerry won NH and lost to Bush 2000: VP Gore won NH (virtually unopposed) and lost to Bush 1996: President Clinton won NH (unopposed) and was reelected 1992: Tsongas won NH, Clinton got the nomination and became President 1988: Dukakis won NH and lost to Bush 1984: Hart won NH, Mondale got the nomination and lost to Reagan 1980: President Carter won NH (virtually unopposed) and lost reelection to Reagan 1976: Carter won NH and went on to become President 1972: Muskie won NH, McGovern got the nomination and lost to Nixon So in the last 10 election cycles New Hampshire only once voted for a non-incumbent Democrat who went on to get the nomination and become president. Republican: 2008: McCain won NH and lost to Obama 2004: President Bush won NH (unopposed) and was reelected 2000: McCain won NH, Bush got the nomination and became President 1996: Buchanan won NH, Dole got the nomination and lost to Clinton 1992: President Bush won NH (virtually unopposed) and lost reelection to Clinton 1988: VP Bush won NH and became President 1984: President Reagan won NH (unopposed) and was reelected 1980: Reagan won NH and became President 1976: President Ford won NH and was reelected 1972: President Nixon won NH and was reelected Slightly better but you still have to go back to VP Bush in 88 to find NH picking a Republican in a contested primary that went on to become President. |
