What does everyone in non Super Tuesday states think about Super Tuesday?

Question

If you are like me in one of those unfortunate states that have not had their primary and are not involved today what do you think of Super Tuesday? Are you mad that your primary vote may mean very little or does that really not matter to you? Would you be willing to go to your state capital to get involved in the next Super Tuesday?

Answer 1

I can't wait to go home and watch the coverage tonight. I love this kind of stuff. - - - I'm really disappointed that my state (PA) doesn't play a factor and that the decisions are already made before I get a chance to vote though. I wish PA would move their primary to Super Tuesday so we could be part of it too.

Answer 2

I'm from Virginia. We've done a pretty good job, I think, of producing politicians, going all the way back to the Founding Fathers. We'll still be an important state, I think, especially since we vote next week.



On the other hand, I still think as many of you as possible should be out there voting for Mitt Romney today, if for no other reason than so I and others like me will have the chance to vote for him later.

Answer 3

I live in Iowa. Ours was the first one to take place.

Why can't they all be on the same day? I mean, one big caucus day? That way, no one is influenced by another state voting for one particular person, and say "Looks like so-and-so is going to win, so I might as well vote for that person too" or "So-and-so has dropped out after a poor showing in another state, so I might as well change my vote". And, no one feels like their vote doesn't really count. I think some people do that sort of thing.

What is the reasoning behind the caucuses taking place on so many different days?

Answer 4

I'm in one of the so-called Potomac primaries (MD, VA, and DC) being held next Tuesday the 12th. I used to think my vote wouldn't count, but the races, especially the Democratic one, are really tight, and my vote will probably count after all.



So all those people who tried to engineer it so that Super Duper Tuesday decided everything, HA on you!

Answer 5

heck yeah I'm mad... we in TEXAS will have to wait till all the action is gone.

Answer 6

it sucks to see it get decided before it gets to you
