Poll: Should Presidential Nominees Be Chosen a Different Way?
Iowa, New Hampshire and other states first in line to choose presidential nominees may have more influence than states with more American citizens. Have a better idea? Should America have a national primary instead of choosing state by state?
Conventional wisdom holds that Mitt Romney will get a major bump toward the GOP presidential nomination by winning today’s primary in New Hampshire. His rivals have conceded him first. But should small states carry this much clout in picking party nominees? Would a national primary be better?
