While we're at it can we end the self-righteous rule of Iowa and New Hampshire by rotating the order of the primaries each election?

I know they are all 'chummy' and let each other know how and where the votes will fall on any given vote, but your points on fulfilling obligations are well made. I concur with your assessment.

I've seen them vote on one thing and 1-2 hrs later they are a no-show on a vote that they don't want to be associated with later on the campaign trail, oftentimes involving immigration issues. They don't get by Malkin though, who follows them like a cat hunting a mouse. I watch C-span a lot and the proceedings of the Senate and House.
