Agree 100%! Why should we allow any candidate be deemed a loser in a race when the runners have only taken a single step from the starting line? Does it make any sense at all to declare the winner of such a race 1 second from the sound of the starting gun?

My theory is that it's logistically possible to conduct a nationwide primary of Republicans, at least Republicans who contribute to the RNC. There ought to be a way to create a national "credit card" with which every Republican could "buy" a candidate with a "credit" put in his/her account. It wouldn't be a secret ballot, I suppose - but it could be done expeditiously IMHO.

I suspect that the states would prevent it, tho - and they have the authority to do so because the defining characteristic of a political party is its line on the ballot, which the states control.
