Let the parties pay their own bills and select their own candidates.

Okay then. Status quo gotta stay. Forget I mentioned it. (Actually, some States already pay for primaries. Honest.)

Yes some states do. And the VA gop, to its credit, foregoes that taxpayer funded process and instead picks state level candidates at convention. They believe it helps them run better candidates and I absolutely agree. We could have had bill bolling and instead we got the Cooch.
