There has to be a better way to pick our presidential nominees.
edit: And only about 1% of Maine's registered Republicans took part in the week long caucuses.

I used to get irritated by this too - now I just think of the economic stimulus of it - the spending on ads, materials etc. and try to feel better about it for that reason.
