Like father, like son. Mitt got brainwashed somehow into believing that he could actually win the GOP nomination.
Add in Thompson and Huckabee for the title of the real conservative in GOP primaries that are open to donkeys and independents, and guess who screwed themselves?
Attn McCain Apologists: Talk all you want! (Vanity)
IMHO, I don't think that there were that many McCain Apologists on this forum. Looking at Operation Chaos in the continuing donkey primary contest, we can expect more of the same idiocy unless the GOP restricts its primaries to only registered well in advance GOP voters, like they do in NY. I had to register by early October 2007 to vote in the 2008 NY GOP primary.
RNC Last Chance to Fix 2012 Primaries
As I wrote back in January, “According to a Fox News exit poll, 32% of the Michigan Republican primary voters identified themselves as independents or Democrats. Another Fox exit poll showed 20% of the South Carolina Republican primary voters said they were either Democrats or independents. In Michigan, Gov. Romney won with 39%, Sen. McCain was second at 30% and Gov. Huckabee third at 16%. In South Carolina, John McCain won with 33% of the vote, Mike Huckabee had 30% and Fred Thompson had 16%. Given those margins, it’s pretty clear that the Dems and independents controlled the result in both states.”In New Hampshire, the results were the same. According to Fox News exit polls, 39% of New Hampshire’s independents were voting GOP ballots. Sen. McCain won by about 5.5% over Gov. Romney in New Hampshire. Again, the independents apparently controlled the results.
By allowing cross-over voting, the Republican Party is enabling liberals to choose its nominee. Just as conservatives demand our borders be secure against illegal aliens, conservatives insist that Republicans -- and only Republicans -- choose the Republican nominee for president.
If the GOP doesn't close the primaries and caucuses, to whatever extent that the GOP uses the latter in its nomination process, expect more of the same in 2012.
