General Discussion

Regardless, how would moving it to CT make the "boondoggle" go away?

In some ways it will get worse. Cost of living in CT is the 9th highest in the Union. It'll cost your candidate 30 to 40% more to advertise in CT than Iowa or NH. In the 2020 campaign, Democrats spent a mere 44 million dollars in ads in Iowa. Not so much this year. But it's estimated that the GOP spent at least 140 million in Iowa this election cycle. Expect that to increase dramatically by 2024. Imagine how much more money candidates will have to have to campaign in CT. And lets not even talk about the lodging shortage in CT for staffers and media to stay while there.

Frankly, I don't give a shit where it starts. But having witnessed the machinations of the party and different campaigns, I seriously doubt that moving it to another state is going to make a hell of a lot of difference boondoggle-wise. Making the sausage in CT is going to be just as messy as IA or NH.
