One thing that occurs to me as I watch the analysis of Obama’s victory in South Carolina is the shear power that a dominating victory like that can have over the rest of America. Between the endless pundits analyzing the situation and the constant media coverage, it’s impossible not to start thinking “Gee, the people in South Carolina must really like Barack Obama.” And if they like Barack, should I? By having these early primaries, the rest of America is unfairly affected by the way these few small states vote. Of course, nothing really matters until “Super Tuesday,” but there has to be some effect. I think everything should be held on Super Tuesday and avoid the charades and unfair biasing of the American public. It’s just not good for democracy.
