A bit unreasonable to think the uber provincial population is going to get , or deserves, that kind of attention when so many of the big issues are both international/economic and global/political. Who passes laws that say I have to be first no matter what. Glad I moved away , town meeting in Vermont was always a collection of showboaters, day drinkers, and folks who thought way too highly of themselves and their folksy democracy objectives.
Somewhat. At least black people will be voting in significant numbers on important national issues rather than the rest of us having to suck up to a polity that's 93 percent white. It's something I suppose. I meant to give a thumbs up on the art work. Nice job there.
Thank you, Steven! Check this out - here's a good NPR article about what states would be better, more representative, to hold the first-in-the-nation primary. It overlooks my concern, which is that the first in the nation primary should be in a small state where underfunded, grassroots candidates have a chance. The big states the article recommends, such as Illinois, would be unaffordable to such candidates. The small states of Delaware and Rhode Island are #9 and #10 on the list of "perfect states," however. South Carolina is #32 on that list.

Is S. Carolina better at those international/economic, global/political issues?

The entire electoral landscape needs remaking, doesn't it.
