...Both campaigns are stoking this fire - and worrying at the same time about what this could do to them in the fall. They ought to be concerned: Keep this up and neither candidate may be able to marshal the votes from the various corners of the Democratic coalition that he or she will need in the fall.

The university is bidding a long goodbye to a faulty structure, and although the goodbye is warranted, I, for one, wish it were briefer...

Nevertheless, suggestions that Democrats and Republicans should switch to a nationwide primary are misguided. Having all states vote simultaneously would disrupt the small scale of primaries that allows voters a close and detailed perspective on the candidates...
