Our primary is March 4th, my vote will not really count. I don't know if I want to vote on March the 4th for the choice of Democratic President. I never got to vote for Edwards or Dennis. It just isn't fair. Yes I am pissed about it.

1. Ours isn't until April 22 in PA.
If it wasn't for the congressional election, I would sit it out. I'm still pissed about Edwards, too.

4. Without a nation wide Super Tuesday all Democrats across the country have not had their say.
Just a few states t0 get pick who will run for President. Texas would have went for Edwards, big time.

2. Because the Constitution leaves elections to the states.
I think there ought to be national primaries as well. In fact, election season should last 365 days. 6 months to primaries, 6 months to general.

5. I know Edwards would have carried Texas.
I know to many Republicans who are sick of Bush and wanted to vote for Edwards. He was the cross-over guy.
