Agreed. Primaries are an odd thing. I don’t like the winner take all nor do I like any where you can’t vote in them unless you are registered in that party. They should also be over a period of time so you can get a real feel for people though no more than 2 months.
No system is perfect but the one we have now is broken for sure.

Strongly disagree. The Republican nominee should be selected only by Republicans--especially in 2012. President 0 will likely run unopposed, leaving DemonRat voters free to "cross over" and vote for a RINO or other weak Republican. Crossover voters gave us McCain.
The RNC should only seat 2012 delegates from states with "closed" Republican primaries. This gives us the best chance at fielding a strong--or at least viable--candidate.
