Well, the reason I believe the primary system needs reformed has come true. It looks like the Republicans are going to bend over and support someone whose mental stability I question.

This front-loaded primary system is inherently unfair on both sides of the aisle. Voting should take place in the primaries in reverse population order, so the small states get their say in things, and the larger states like California can be how a candidate coalesces their popularity into a victory.

Instead, come May when I get to vote, I'm only going to have one candidate on the ballot. (maybe 2, if Ron Paul doesn't drop out).

Between McCain and Paul, I'll go Paul. Seriously, despite all my griping in previous columns, at least I know how Paul will act.

I'm actually beginning to hope for Bloomberg to run, which is scary as I normally hate third party candidates.
