It's a contest!
As a political junkie, I think it's going to be an interesting month to watch in both parties over the next few weeks. And it'll make Minnesota's Caucus on the first Tuesday in February very interesting and exciting -- I can't wait.
I know that some people would like a nationwide primary -- but I think there's some virtue to having a series of primaries over multiple weeks, so we can see how a Presidential candidate wins -- and loses. Because a President is going to have to deal with both of these when they are in office.
I'm not necessarily thrilled that Iowa and New Hampshire are always the first ones are out there. But at the end, it's going to be more than just the 1% of the country that decides -- and that's going to be a healthy thing as well.
