I've heard from voters in the White Primary (Iowa and NH) that they take their

role in the presidential selection process very seriously and that is part of why they should be first.

Do you think they are better qualified to have such a role and are they better at it than citizens of other states would be?

3. Y'see...

supposedly there are only white folk living in NH and Iowa. Hence White Primary. It's basically racist crap, but it's there.

4% NH and 6% Iowa, to be precise

8. When the Polling Places have signs that read "Whites Only" it is a White Primary.

7. Well SC and Nevada are close on the heels of "the white Primaries"

and have large African-American (SC) and Hispanic (NV) populations. I think the voters there take their roles seriously too.

10. No, I think all the primaries/caucuses

should be held on the same day, or at least within the same week.
