If OC can be shown to be a 10% stat problem now and a likely 20% stat problem in '12, perhaps states might see the wisdom of closing their primaries.

Rush could have done a better job explaining this to those of us who wanted Hillary put down, and now that the dust is settling, we need to prep for OC '12, since McCain plans for only one term.

OTOH, I wish we had the primary system the rats have. That way Crist couldn't have given us McCain.

Like a very wise freeper underlined, primary raiding is for the big boys, and this year we could have inflicted even more chaos if we'd had better forecasting skills.

I used to disdain this rat practice until I woke up and McCain was my 'man'.

Not that I won't vote for McCain. I'm just not principled anymore and want to re-gift the rats what they've been giving for the last 10 GEs or so.

Thank you for your thoughtful reply. I think you are right on several points, (like: we'll probably see more closed primaries as a result of this).

I still wonder if, come November, it might somehow be easier for these new Democrats to... vote for Democrats? Not necessarily for the office of President, but the countless other offices up for grabs across the nation.
