You have to ask yourself...why does the NH Republican Party support an open primary?
I remember being up in the White Mts. and stopping at a modest gas station where the proprietor, fumbling with little white pieces of paper, said "we don't get bailouts, so we have to keep these records." (There were Republican campaign signs on his property.) He was my kind of people. I love the people up here. They are polite and decent. People hold the door open when you enter the P.O. Nothing like that happened in the real blue state I used to inhabit. I love this place, even the frost heaves and black flies. I won't sit by and see ignorant flatlanders bash us.
29% of voters in 2008’s election cycle were independents. You can’t win national elections without them. That’s why.
