Letting ten states pick the nominee instead of 50 gets you McCain ‘08. I don’t get to vote until May. National primary day now.

Yep, and supporting the one the tv tells you is the most electable.

The primaries should be restricted to republicans only, and there is no reason to have them so early.

We should also consider the ‘winner take all’ issue. There was an article today that pointed out that NY and California, states which will not send republican electors to the electoral college, have a disproportionate effect upon the republican nominee

what if the number of republican delegates was related to the number of republican congressmen elected by that state - or - the number of electors from the prior presidential election? i am suggesting we search for some mechanism that would acknowledge the distribution of republicans.
