Your website is interesting, especially the page that lists the results of the primaries according to "open/closed/semi-closed" status.
So, Schwinger, who is funding your organization?
I didn’t start the website, but I wanted it publicized and thought that’d be as good a reason as any to get started on Free Republic.
For everyone else’s comments, let this email I sent to the GOP executives suffice:

To whom it may concern,
I’ve always considered myself a Republican, but I am not going to vote for John McCain. I signed a petition for the RNC at fairprimary.org and would like you to thoughtfully consider the objections of people like me. The reason I write you now is that I feel the primaries this year did not reflect the true sentiment of the majority of Republicans. 60% of Republicans were opposed to John McCain, but the media has dictated who is viable. Also, Democrats and “Independents” have often been allowed to vote in our primaries, and Super Tuesday was a farce. It was supposed to make the primaries end half a year before the convention! I concur with swarms of other Republicans that we need to hold primaries again for each state. Before you reject what I just said, let me explain. I say this not because I can’t face the facts, but because I CAN. I know many Republicans have learned the hard way that the media anointed McCain. Few are complaining anymore because they think it has to be that way since he has the “magic number” of delegates. I would like you to consider reforming the system and allowing every state a voice before selecting a nominee. Please don’t ignore your constituents. I’m not alone in feeling this way. We just want to see Republican primaries without cross-voting where there’s minimal media pressure on the people and limited pressure from the polls about who can win the states. The media obsession with that just dissuades people from voting as they see fit.
Thank you for your time and patience.
Sincerely,
Christopher Schwinger

The media would have a lot less power to say which states are important for “momentum” (poppycock and hogwash!) if the GOP kept each state’s results confidential until all had voted.
That page shows just how twisted it is to have McCain as the nominee. (grrrrr....)
