This is slightly tangential, but it's something I've been wondering about for a while:
Democratic luminaries have been coming out for the past several weeks saying, in essence, "this race has gone on too long, someone should drop out." If having a primary contest stretch out till April is such a horrible thing, why are primaries scheduled for late April, or May, or June? It's no wonder Michigan and Florida wanted to move up in the voting... Democrats have already told people in Montana and South Dakota that their votes shouldn't count.
