...IS THIS A REPRESENTATIVE REPUBLIC OR NOT??????????

Not.

When it comes to primaries, the respective political parties can do as they see fit.

That's why listening to Bob Barr of Georgia last week was so maddening.

Barr made it clear that he intended to represent the wishes of the voters only for as long as he was legally compelled to do so. A delegate who felt a true affinity to the voters would be an advocate for their candidate in later rounds, not flee them at the first opportunity.
