Eye to the Telescope.

This is a great article from THE ECONOMIST, it looks at the primaries from a game theory perspective. "It is reasonably clear where the process will end, as the states scramble over each other...", I'll let you read to find out where it leads...

The issue comes into play because California’s state Congress has approved a bill to move their primary date to February 5th, it will soon be approved it in their house. What happens next is obvious from a game theory perspective, 17 more states are likely to follow suit...

This is a great look at the consequences of our current primaries system, how it will likely change, and a perspective on how it should change...

I've posted the article on my blog since you wont be able to access the Economist page. It's a one page magazie article and it's a very fast read... I recommend it.
