It has gotten so confusing and I think it is going to get worse before it gets better. Maybe they should stop conventions. This is what I can't stand... The conventions that this electon will not be true conventions because delegates have been cut and states jockeying to see who holds primarys first. It has become a big mess if you ask me.</description></item><item><title>RNC strips 5 states of half their delegates</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2007/10/22/424088.aspx#429405</link><pubDate>Wed, 24 Oct 2007 21:23:22 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:429405</guid><dc:creator>Rachel Farer, Newark, DE</dc:creator><description>I thought the great, wise, and benevolent voters in New Hampshire deserved to decide the outcome of the primaries because they were fifty times smarter than the rest of us.</description></item></channel></rss>
