A Republican National Committee rules committee in April gave initial backing to a plan to spread out the primaries to avoid the creation of a de facto national primary.
But the plan approved by the RNC's full rules committee Wednesday in Minneapolis rejected the so-called Ohio Plan in favor of a system allowing most states to hold primaries in March.
Bennett has been critical of such a system, which he says creates a national primary that focuses attention on a few big media markets.
It also encourages early campaigning, more spending and less contact with the average voter, Bennett said.
The plan approved Wednesday must still be approved by the GOP convention rules committee next week.
[Bob] Bennett said the McCain campaign refused to step in and support the plan. He also blamed RNC Chair Robert Duncan for the defeat.

Important Ohio PING needed! Thank you!
I want a national primary. Republicans only. Instant runoff style. No Iowa BS, no McCain winning with a plurality no months and months of endless campaigning.
I want party leaders that believe in a system where voters choose the party candidate,
not another rigged debacle like we had this year.
Bob Bennett, what have you done for Ohio lately?
The GOP will be dead after Nov. Not to worry.

William Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard and Fox pundit, pronounced the death of the conservative movement. “Leaderless, rudderless and issueless, the conservative movement, is finished.”
Kristol, and his associate David Brooks are McCainiacs. They held that McCain would promote their idea of “national greatness,” as opposed to what they regarded as the standpatness of the conservative Republicans.
“National Greatness?”
It entails a greater role for the federal government and more---much more--extensive intervention throughout the world to "promote" American values.

I want party leaders that believe in a system where ONLY REPUBLICAN voters choose the party candidate.
ROTFL----McCain's leash is tightening---he knows he better keep quiet about “national (gag) greatness” if he knows what's good for him. Hey, the nincompoopneos play rough if you don't obey.
Kristol and his pals leashed up McC when their hand-picked guy Giuliani flopped. McCain kneels in obeisance to the Kristol cabal---he campaigns for Big Government. McC is critical of the role of religion in public life (NOTE: religious cleansing is a pukeneo fave) .
McC is sucking-up bigtime---he supports endless war, US intervention BUT only in places Kristol approves. Plus environmentalism, gun control, gay rights, anti-tobacco legislation, and amnesty.
===========================================
Kristol and his pals are not satisfied with the trillions of US tax dollars and young blood thrown down the snake pits of Mideast hellholes.
Does the little jerk see himself as another short guy with a height complex---Napoleon Bonaparte? Or maybe Little Ceasar (and I do mean "little")?
Kristol has been pushing hard for McCain and Lieberman of late.
Brooks seems to have backed off a bit lately. Perhaps he’s dissatisfied with the creature he helped create.
“Little jerk”... LOL.
As I stand back and watch this election,, I must say,
dumb and dumber seems to sum up both tickets..
It is almost as if the elites are toying with the voters..
I sense, in some smoke filled back rooms in DC and NYC, gray men are laughing at the “joke” they have pulled on the voters, talk about sticks in the eyes to both parties..
If anyone thinks our elections are not rigged now, well they cannot connect the dots...both presidential candidates now appointed by the shadowgovernment elites are so obviously
unqualified in almost every way, but one..they will easily be controlled as both sides have men who have enough
baggage to have had them kicked out of government and in jail long ago IF this were a true Republic.
For our GOP and Dem supporters you must now have some small inkling that you are both being had.
One would think so.
Unfortunately, some are unable to see it, others unwilling, and yet others are aiding and abetting the puppetmasters.
Feith is a self-affirming space cadet---if Feith somehow found a parking spot near the White House it would be tantanmount to a miracle. That he was allowed to make WH policy for the US is appalling.
Feith showed a conman's adeptness at using 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft's penetrating questions to deflect blame for the costly, bloody Iraq disaster on everyone but himself---where it rightfully belongs
Feith has been called the dumbest man in history. His dumb*** involvement in US foreign-policy should have relegated pukeneos to the dustbin of history. The neos flim-flammed the Washington establishment and they did a whizbang job at transferring massive US wealth to Mideast hellholes (and into war profiteers' pockets).
Americans need to avoid the mistakes we made that allowed these con artists to achieve the status they did.
I missed it. I rarely watch 60 minutes.
Speaking of war profiteers, how is Rudy’s boy Bernie doing these days?
(laughing so hard, can hardly type---man, you got off a good one---thanks, I needed that)
Seriously, I guess Bernie went down the memory hole.
Bernie's been thrown out of more countries than Frank Sinatra. Somebody call Guiness.
His feeble attempt to raise defense money using a Malta email address (you turned up that tidbit) shoulda been a wakeup call to the baldheaded sonofagun.
“National Greatness?”
It entails a greater role for the federal government and more---much more--extensive intervention throughout the world to "promote" American values.
Typical welfare-warfare neocon BS. They're part of the reason, but not all of the reason, why we're in Iraq. If this world were just, they would be alongside the liberals asking Americans if they wanted fries with that.
You're welcome! lol.
I forgot about the Malta thingy, lol. He isn't persona-non-grata in Jordan yet, is he?
Can I assume that Kerik will not be a featured speaker at the RNC Convention again?
What a difference 4 years makes.
“I want party leaders that believe in a system where voters choose the party candidate,

Bump that!
