Is it time to change the Primary System
I never thought the Primary system as it is currently held is a good idea. The staggering of states makes some states too important, and dismisses others entirely. By the time the later states hold their primary the point is often moot.

Add to that the constant polling and calculations....

If you follow the pundits the field should fold and annoint Dean today.

I would much rather see a single day of voting for all states, and try to take the moment and bandwagon jumping out of the picture.
