7. Yeah I want to see that too
I am also not sold on Kerry, but I always love the underdog, so I guess in truth I will nevfer be happy 100 percent with the winner.

I guess part of me just feels cheated cause it wasn't much of a race since it was so front-loaded. I love competition, and think it makes the candidates better, and satiates my interest in politics. I waited 4 years for this excitment and for it to be over in 2 weeks means I have to wait another 208 weeks for another primary that matters.

I wish they would restructure the primaries so there is more than one the first week, so there can be multiple winners. Say 4 of them. That gives 1 to 4 candidates a chance to win one, then the whole "momentum" thing will disappear. If you can finish 1 or 2 in those 4 states, then you truly dont have viability. Then there can be like a couple week to a month cooling off period then an ever increasing number of primaries.

So basically it would go from 8 or more to 4 to a couple, instead of 8 to 1 after just 2 states.
