Presidential Primaries: Front-Loaded Fiascoes?
Gans, Curtis
Update on Law-Related Education, v20 n3 p40-41 Fall 1996
Criticizes the presidential primary process as possibly leading to the destruction of the two-party system. Claims that the current process limits the competition to the rich and famous, enhances the worst aspects of campaigning, and evaluates candidates purely on their political skills. Briefly discusses some reform proposals. (MJP)
