March 05, 2008Long Primaries Are All GoodI like this long (D) primary season. Primaries mean seasoning. I expect that likely continues true even long. Maybe Bush II could've used a long primary season? They also enhance the brand. They keep our party in the media eye, and means whomever wins will have more buzz around him and is likelier to win. They do more money spent in primaries that could've been spent in nat'l elections. OTOH, the improvement in the (D) brand from long primaries probably improve fundraising opportunities. Best, of all, it's more fun this way! Of course, I might feel different if I was a candidate.... Posted by Jon Kay at March 5, 2008 04:39 PMComments
No, long primaries are not good. If you ever ran or had a family member or
Empire building for full employment for over paid and over benefited staff --full of hot air and paper pumping out more of the same. 85% of the subjects & programs should have been sliced out twenty years ago. Univ. model is obsolete and has been hurting this country for far too long.
