This needs to change!!!

You know what frustrates me even more than this? The whole super delegate thing! How ridiculous is it that 800 people each get a vote that counts practically the same as a whole precinct?! What's the point in having primaries if they're going to disregard what we say anyway...

But yes, I also agree that it would be much better to have all of the primaries and caucuses at the same time. It'd be much more fair to all of the candidates AND voters that way. But I doubt the parties would ever go for it. They don't seem to like changes like that. Just look what the democratic party did to Florida over the voting schedule...
