For the anti-caucus crowd, if you got your way and caucuses were done away with, would you make an exception for Iowa? There is a lot of tradition there, and they do a good job managing it.
Absolutely not, particularly because I don't think Iowa or New Hampshire should go first. Those states should not have a stranglehold on the nominating process anymore. Ideally, I think both parties should work together to find a new nominating process. (If anything, I wouldn't mind invoking a penalty that puts those two states at the very back of the line for once.) Eliminating caucuses can be done unilaterally by one party. Considering their swing state status, I think both parties will have to act on IA and NH together, not just one party acting on its own.
