The RNC should have gone to closed primaries in as many states as possible. Only registered party members can vote in closed primaries, not even independents in states like NY. If some RINO loses to Obama in 2012, and the Tea Party movement loses its influence in the GOP, I'd be willing to bail on the GOP and its ruling class to replace it.
What is wrong with limiting primaries to party members?
And New Hampshire chooses non-conservatives thanks to the unaffiliated vote these days.

It's crap for the right as we have been dragged to the left for decades, but the argument is the winner is too extreme.
