Betsy Newmark: New primary system is no way to hold elections

Published June 28, 2007 4:00am ET



Next year’s presidential campaign promises to be fantastic for political junkies. With open nominations for both parties and close to 20 candidates running, there is always something for pundits to focus on, maybe even enough for the maw of media demand in this age of Internet and 24-hour news coverage.

There is enough so that every day, one of the candidates is doing something that we can all mull over and debate. What good, gooey political fun!
