I wouldn't say McCain "threw" the election, but there were obviously some issues which he neglected to raise and others which he brought up too late to be maximally effective. He was too "honorable" in his approach. If he really was "throwing" the election, he would never have picked Palin as his running mate.

The GOP has to revamp its primary rules in order to make it more difficult for a candidate like McCain, who was obviously garnering much less than a majority of party support in the primaries, from getting the nomination so easily. My suggestion is to get rid of "winner take all" state primaries, and to allocate some delegates to second and third place finishers in in all states.

I cannot remember a time I have ever disagreed with you, however, this would be that time. (please mark your calender) ;*)

get rid of "winner take all" state primaries

Good, back to normal and once again, I agree completely.
Case in point - Virginia. With 50.04% MeInsane received all 63 delegates.

Also there should be no open primaries. Why allow the demonrats to vote in republican primaries and vice versa.

"I wouldn't say McCain "threw" the election"

I would. I never saw any GOP Presidential candidate that anxious to lose.
