Why do we even need primaries?
Can somebody explain why we even need political primaries?
Yes I know it is because there can only be one candidate from each party running in an election. But why is that the case?
Remember the California recall election where there were hundreds of candidates running? Did that not more closely represent a true democratic election than the current primary system? Why do we need only one republican/democrat running in an election?
Would not the next presidential election be more fun if it was a four way match-up between Clinton/Obama/Giuliani/McCain/Nader?
