Or let Texas go first (they deserve it) but then it would be one and done for all but the winner.

I am so glad I live in CA and it will all be decided by the time I go to the polls. It is going to be a tough 10 some odd months as it is.

The one thing we need to press for is 100% publicly financed elections. No dark money, no soft money, no PAC's, none of that shit. No opting out. Your run, you get a bankroll. You meet a voting % threshold in each election and you can continue on.
That, and the changing Corporate Personhood laws, and you got fairness. And viable third party candidates. And the $$$ out of politics.
