Michigan Moves It's Primary Election to January 15th; This is Unwise, But Does Challenge a Double-Standard That's Unfair

Michigan joined Florida in defying the double-standard that both parties have in allowing four states to vote earlier than all others.

I am not in agreement with this decision.

I do agree that it does challenge an unfair double-standard that needs to be changed. But at what cost? Michigan will be punished and it's voters in both parties will be disenfranchised by a corrupt political system that favors four states over all others. And the primaries are already too early.

The Bush vs. Kerry campaign of 2004 was pure agony. It went on far too long and was incredibly expensive for both parties to stage. As with how 2008 will be, 2004's primary season ended way too early. And we were stuck with two candidates--one who flip-flopped like a fish out of water, and the other with a huge anchor tied around his neck with "Iraq" stenciled on it.

Does anyone really want a loooooong campaign in '08?
