Primary calendar "fundamentally flawed"

From the Associated Press:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told a group of Michigan Democrats that the current primary system is "fundamentally flawed" and he supports changing the 2012 primary calendar to reduce the influence of early contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.

Reid, D-Nev., made the remarks last Sunday at a private fundraiser in Oakland County, Mich., for Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., according to three people who attended. Reid credited Levin and other Michigan Democrats for challenging the primary calendar and said he would work with them to seek improvements while maintaining Nevada's role in the process.

"Fundamentally flawed," you say? "No shit," I say.
