In Ohio there’s no registration of party. Whichever ballot you choose is your identified party. I agree about crossover voting. My point, though, is that some states aren’t set up that way.
If the party assigns delegates by county, and candidates only get the counties they win, then that would lessen the impact of crossover voting in any state. It would also mean that a candidate has to appeal to all conservative voters across the country before they lock the nomination down.
A third change I’d like is that the new conservative caucus agree on no more than 2 names to promote for the campaign with the less successful candidate pledged to drop out and assign delegates to the more successful conservative candidate at some point in the nominating process.
Crossover voting is going to be DISASTEROUS in 2012 because Obama will be running, so ALL the Democrats will Crossover and vote for the WEAKEST REPUBLICAN!! THIS MUST STOP!!
Nor is there in Texas.
