We should not let the MSM nor a few states that have open primaries decide the next Repub presidential candidate!
I agree. It was over for the true conservative candidates after 5 states. 45 states, the majority of conservatives never had a chance to have a primary vote that counted the true feelings of Americans.
We have to close all primarys to registered republicans only.
It doesn’t matter whether the primaries are open or closed. Last Jan., too many candidates quit the race too soon. Ex-Sen. Thompson, Rep. Hunter, Rep. Tancredo, and ex-Mayor Giuliani quit the race after about five states held primaries or caucuses, and they didn’t know the views of the voters, in about 45 states. They should have stayed in the race longer, to ensure that the nomination process would take longer. The Republicans would have received more publicity. We knew, in March, that McCain would be the nominee, and the reporters mainly talked about Barack and Hillary for the following three months. In Nov. 2011, we should ask all of the republican presidential candidates to continue campaigning until May or longer.
