John G Yakim, candidate for State Representative

A single primary date would mean only candidates with a ton of money would be able to afford to run for President. As much as I know you do not like Rick Santorum, he was able to be competitive with a very small amount of money because the initial states are small and rely on grassroots campaigning. One National primary date would mean he would not have been able to afford to be competitive. If you remember, in the last Presidential election, a guy no one had heard of was able to be competitive in the early primaries. I think he did pretty good after that, if my memory is correct.
