It seems that one of the big problems we have in the primary elections is crossover voting. People who don't even care enough about the Republican party to register as a republican prior to the primaries are free to choose which ballot they wish to vote for on the day of the election.

McCain won in New Hampshire because a lot of "independents" decided to vote for him instead of Obama.

Frankly I think we need to change the rules on primaries and only allow people who register to vote Republican at least 60 days before the election to have a say in who the Republican Party can pick to run in the general elections.

I for one am damned sick and tired of our primaries being decided by people who can't even decide which party they want to belong to until they walk into the voting booth.
