Bingo.
McCain probably wasn’t the best Republican candidate this year, but I couldn’t see anyone else doing much better really. The sheeple wanted “change.” But I think this is a lesson to the Republican primary process. Absolutely no independents, I repeat, NO independents (or heaven forbid Democrats) should be allowed to vote in Republican primaries. Let’s have the registered Republicans chose the Republican candidate and not any fence-sitters, geez! I think this helped McCain initially is some of the more “blue” state primaries. I also think it would be wise to move up some of the more conservative states earlier in the voting process. How about states like Alabama, Texas, Idaho, Alaska and Virginia moving up their primaries to late January or early February? That would help a more conservative candidate get some momentum early in the primary process so we can get a true conservative nominated in 2012 (Jindal, Palin?). Does anyone agree or disagree with me?
