Let’s see. In ‘96 I was disappointed that Bob Dole gamed the system because he wasn’t conservative enough. In 2000 I was disappointed that we didn’t choose someone more conservative. In 2008 it was FReeping obvious that the system is gamed against conservatives like Duncan Hunter.
Bottom line, the primary system worked because Bush and McCain were our best candidates and I dare you to name someone who was running who was better.
***Duhh. I was a Hunter fan and I felt McCain wasn’t conservative enough. The only bright spot on the ticket was Sarah Palin.
Well you have the company of several thousands of others. The only problem with that is McCain and Obama got the votes of tens of millions.
