“Ultimately, those who failed to support real conservatives in the primaries are the ones responsible for the nomination of McCain”

*******

Unfortunately, the way the Republican primaries award delegates, worked to screw us up this time.
If we had a system like that of the Dims, whereby its not a “winner takes all’ system, but votes are split according to % of votes attained, , McCain will probably have lost the primaries.
Of course the fact that the more conservative candidates split the votes of conservative voters, ended up helping McCain as well.
It’s time we changed our system, and did away with “winner takes all” primaries.
