2008 U.S. Presidential Primary:the Culmination of Frontloading and the Inevitability of Reforms

  • 65

The 2008 U.S. Presidential Primary sounded alarm bells over the institutional problems of the current primary-centered nominating system while making distinguished record of frontloading. The 2008 calendar was the most frontloaded with respect to the delegates at stake and the number of primaries. The current primary system takes credit for its democratic value and openness, at which the 1972 McGovern-Fraser was directed, but the race to the front among state parties and its aggravation in the 2008 primary is again boosting the necessity of a new institutional reform. This article illuminates major reform movement, such as a national primary plan, rotating regional primary plan, Delaware plan, and American plan. These plans are approached and examined in terms of principles like meaningful choices, fair representation, and the quality of political discourse. This article notes a form of grouped primaries which may feature the merits of American and Delaware plan in order to avoid the trend toward a national primary.
