Primary Blogging

From the Argus Leader blog:

The early presidential primary

I say we do it.

I was in college in 1988 when we had an early primary. It was cool and good for the state. One of the things that happens is that when a presidential candidate comes through it elicits debate and discussion about what they’re saying, about the topics of the day. That’s a good thing.

Yes, it’s going to cost $500,000 but it will bring in money too. Think of it as tourism and it’s not so hard to swallow.

Actually, I can’t believe Shantel Krebs bill made it out of committee. I figured the legislative curmudgeons will kill that faster than an open meetings law.

We’ll see how far it actually gets but I’m behind it.
