The 2012 Presidential primary season is in full swing. Primary voting won’t reach us until May 29th – but the uniqueness of this season has already touched all of us - informing our decisions and ultimately determining the future leader of our country…On the Republican side of things - there are 2,286 delegates at stake. And it has been a very interesting journey so far to acquiring them – from over 2 dozen debates… to the first time use of super pacs, and their unlimited fundraising for candidates. Tonight – a look at the presidential primary process – the good, the bad, and the downright confusing.
