I agree that the primaries should be held, if not at the same time, then at least maybe all in the same month. In Pa, we don't get to vote until April! Although there has been talk that Pa might be the deciding state for the democrats.
In Pa, you are registered Democrat or Republican. In the primary, you can vote ONLY for your party. So for example, if you're a registered democrat and you like McCain-you can't vote for him. But in the election, obviously, you can vote for anyone.
I never actually saw President Clinton speak, but I'm told he has the same charisma as JFK.

Same in NJ...you must be registered either Democrat or Republican to vote in a primary but we're not seperated to vote. Wonder if I had pushed a Clinton/Obama button what would have happened? Does the vote not count? Can't imagine how they'd enforce that Catlover unless you actually have different voting booths.
President Clinton is an excellent speaker. I remember when he was President listening to him and being mesmerized by his speeches.
