The candidates simply don't have the time because states who feel self-important keep moving their primaries up.

CO-SIGN!
I'm from Florida--although I haven't lived there permanently for almost 10 years, I'm still registered there, since after 2000 we learned exactly how important the state was, and, let's face it, NY is hardly a battleground state. I'm not mad at the DNC for shutting out Florida, I'm embarassed by the state party for being stupid. What was wrong with being a Super Tuesday state?
The state party deserves everything it got--including Hillary. If it comes between her and McCain, I'm going McCain all the way.
