The ten most Republican states in 2004 (a Republican year) were Utah, Wyoming, Idaho, Nebraska, Oklahoma, North Dakota, Alabama, Kansas, Alaska and Texas, in that order. Yet only one of these states has held a primary thus far, Wyoming. Before the rest will get a chance to vote, all Republicans are out of the race.
***Right there is the biggest clue to how party primaries ought to be run. That should be the ORDER of the primaries, based upon what the highest percentages of republican votes. Those states that have high percentages of republicans would encourage more turnout in blowout elections because the results count towards primary order.
AMEN!
I agree, any idea of how you go about changing which states vote in the Repubican primary first?
