Has there been a Presidential debate yet? Heck, has there been a campaign launched yet? Also your analysis did not address the different dynamics between State/district and Federal at all.

Also, what were Obama's Presidential poll numbers in January 2007?

You should be glad though, the GOP are winning the war for open Primaries so that limited government candidates will be undermined.

Re: “You should be glad though, the GOP are winning the war for open Primaries so that limited government candidates will be undermined.”

I have no idea what you are talking about.

I have always supported closed primaries.

The GOP can have closed primaries any time it wants them.

All we need to do is pay for our own primary elections.

Then we can write our own election rules.

Instead, a majority of Republicans, like you, demand that taxpayers pay for our primary elections.

Then you complain because the GOP has to obey state and federal election laws.
