George Will uses his latest Newsweek column to question the wisdom of a federal “solution” to the fight over scheduling presidential primary and caucus votes.

The salient question is: Does today’s process provide sufficient time and challenges to compel candidates to reveal their characters and skills? It does, thereby demonstrating this: What is messy is not necessarily a mess.
