Our primary will finally mean something in 2008

Edited on Tue Jun-21-05 02:01 PM by Jersey Devil

I read this morning in The Record that both houses of the legislature have passed and Codey is expected to sign a law that changes the date of the NJ Primary to the last Tuesday in February beginning in 2008.

I think it is about time that we had a significant voice in the selection of our presidential candidates.

2. The primaries need to be all during the same week.

Pick a time - preferably later in the season, to cut down on the money flowing to r/w media - and we all vote together. Politics as usual is no longer the politics of 1960.
Later primaries, three day (over a weekend) general election. The next thing could be a careful re-thinking of the slander/libel laws, with an eye to demanding truth in advertising as regards the ads.
