These elections are important. We should be paying attention to the primaries. Here is a good site that follows the primaries by state: http://politics.nytimes.com/election-guide/2008/primaries/republicanprimaries/index.html

What about the Primary Process?
I understand why there is only a few states at at time in the primaries. It helps the candidates focus on a few states instead of all of them at once. One problem I have is that some primaries and caucuses have 1 state, while some, like super Tuesday, have several states. Why not spread out the states better. The other problem is by the time they get to Virginia (my state) the decision is already made. Some states do not get to make the decision. Many candidates drop out early on so we do not even get to vote for them.

Please make comments.
