Political parties need to reform the delegate system

condi ricecakes said 04/01, 12:08 PM
The hotly contested counting of delegates for Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton is still going on, and this past weekend both campaigns did all they could to try to gain the upper hand. A month later, the fact that this is still up in the air should illustrate why we need to change the delegate system.

you are basically saying that the political parties need to reform the delegate system. Which is something i agree with. But your reason for doing so is unreasonable. You say that we should reform the delegate system only because you aren't happy with the fact that we haven't had a democrat chosen for the nomination. But i would like to remind you that we have a least another 8 more states who need the chance to have a voice in this nomination. If you want quicker results just tell your congressman to push the primary dates a little earlier(while not opposing party rules). Another point to make is that we still have till August 25 till the democratic nomination. So there is still plenty of time for the candidates to present themselves. If we still didn't have primaries to help choose out the nominee at this time, and the nominee would be chosen already, we would have to endure 7 months on constant Republican and democratic fighting and bickering. Like this we have more time for people to choose the right nominee, and less time to here democrats and republicans fighting for the white house. Finally, i agree that the delegate system should be reformed, but not for the reasons you giv

7 months remaining for the next argument...
