“Not Set in Granite”

Gil Troy of McGill (whom I have not seen since I was a camper decades ago) has this post on the NYT “Campaign Stops” blog): “Right now, while we indulge New Hampshire’s childish insistence on its presidential primary being “first in the nation,” Americans should decide to bury this tradition. Nearly a century is enough: the Granite State has somehow turned a fluke into an entitlement. Worse, its obsession with primacy prolongs, complicates and distorts the presidential nominating process. In a democracy, no state should be first forever.”
