the only logical conclusion to this trend of states moving their presidential primary or caucus earlier and earlier is that eventually they will move them into the past. one day we'll wake up and discover they've all already happened and we've retroactively missed our chance to vote. the nominee has already been deemed chosen, even though no actual human being ever voted.
then again, i'm at a loss to explain how this hypothetical scenario is all that different from how things already work.
