Primaries
The order of the Presidential primaries is the subject of many blog posts here and elsewhere. I understand why South Carolina is moved so far up (to annoint at the same time a more conservative Dem and also one who can appeal to black voters). However, as nice as it is to let a state like South Carolina "moderate" the process, it ignores the fact that no Democrat has won South Carolina in over 20 years, and I doubt one will win in the next 20 years. Why not give states like Ohio, West Virginia and Arkansas, culturally conservative states where Democrats actually win sometimes, the duty of picking a candidate. Hell, even California and New York, reliable providers of electoral college votes that they are, deserve a chance to shake up the process every once in a while.
It's not as if the Republicans focus on the Hawaii primary to thin out their race, and for good reason.

I recommend a Janus like statue, with two heads looking either way to commemmorate Zell's career long zig-zagging.

Ooooh, or with hand raised, finger in the wind, trying to decide to do what's "popular with Georgians" and nothing else. Faggy but fun.

Yeah, I like the idea of the finguer in the air. Or you could have a two-faced, from Batman, like statute of Zell. One side of him could be giving out a HOPE Scholarship, while the other side could have him tearing the Constitution in half.

Is there some kind of "Bitter Comments Thread" competition I don't know about?
