Ever wonder why the news media wants to name the presidential candidates after the first couple of primaries? Think about, does anyone in their right mind think that whoever Iowa or New Hampshire chooses for fucks sake should be President?? Fuck me I'm not doing anything Iowa tells me to do. So the real reason is as soon as the candidate is announced as the presidential candidate . . . wait for it . . . they get to start receiving larger donations. And donations mean more money spent on television ads. That's why.
