Ultimately, those who failed to support real conservatives in the primaries are the ones responsible for the nomination of McCain, and thus his inestimably botched campaign, and thus the loss a few days ago.

Agreed. Those Republicans who voted for McCain to be the nominee were fools.

Also consider the possibility of Liberals having their version of Operation Chaos (voting for the worst of the Republicans so as to help their side). All primaries should be closed and all caucuses should become primaries. Democrats should be the only people allowed to pick the Democratic nominee and Republicans should be the only ones allowed to pick the Republican nominee.

*******

Unfortunately, the way the Republican primaries award delegates, worked to screw us up this time.
If we had a system like that of the Dims, whereby its not a “winner takes all’ system, but votes are split according to % of votes attained, , McCain will probably have lost the primaries.
Of course the fact that the more conservative candidates split the votes of conservative voters, ended up helping McCain as well.
It’s time we changed our system, and did away with “winner takes all” primaries.
