I am all for getting everything you can out of the political process, i.e. make the system work for you. That being said, for every decision and action there is a consequence. The primary season started early and it’s ending late. Long exposure is good for recognition.
However, Americans have been over-exposed to a lot of issues that are not relevant to our decision making process to elect a president. We been exposed to so many tidbits, misspeaks, ideas, suggestions and ironies of the candidates that we are now judging personalities and attitudes. We haven’t gotten concrete outlines or plans for Hillary’s or Obama’s future administration for fear of being picked apart by one another. The media is dissecting every public comment of the Democratic candidates. This extended season is harmful to whoever receives the democratic nomination because there will be a boatload of embarrassing fodder for McCain to pick from during the general election to impede his opponents run. He will have his choice of rehashing almost any hot topic from the last 18 months and confront his opponent with their own words. At this point, Hillary or Obama would be hard put to rebut McCain verbatim because there’s been so little media coverage of McCain and his blunders.
