Go for it. Maybe it should have been changed in 2008 or before?
So....bottom line the GOP fixed it to force Obameycare Mitt??
Too many hoops (Or red tape)? Maybe so, but Romney and Paul seemed to get the work done.
How long have these rules been in place? My understanding is the same rules were in place in 2008 and everyone managed to get through the hoops.
