    You as an individual are under-represented, but you as a populous state are too powerful. If California primaries first , no one else matters.

    When New Hampshire primaries first, you get a lot of meeting the candidates, an interesting survey result, but the result is still wide open.

    Either way, it’s all of us in the middle who get shafted. We don’t get an early say but our vote doesn’t count for much with the big guys coming soon.

    I’m torn about whether it is good to be a “safe”state. While it’s nice that we don’t get the nonsense or the robocalls or the mail or the ads, would it hurt to get some attention? Can we be treated like we matter?
