Have you noticed how many of the states are moving up their primary election date? Have you wondered why they are doing that? Many of them say they are tired of being on the tail end of the primary process. They fell that the decision if often made before they have their primary. That may be true, but if it is true now, has it not always been true? Why suddenly are they all in such a hurry to move back to the first of the year?
I read an interesting theory on this the other day. The person espousing the theory was one of the lesser known candidates for president from one of the two major parties. He said that the Internet has changed the playing field. The major parties, which control all of the state legislatures, fear that someone might get enough recognition via the Internet to influence some of the small historically early primaries. This would force the major media to recognize them and get their message out. If the American people knew they could vote for someone who feels the same about things as they do, then John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Hillary Clinton might find themselves on the outside looking in come November 2008.
