Too bad the Republican National Committee chooses the primary dates for each state. Missouri had a dem governor who wouldn't play ball and allow the primary to switch to the RNC dictated date for the 2012 cycle. Upshot was a statewide caucus that was nonbinding and before the RNC date and that went 70% for Santorum. Two months later was the 'real - RNC sanctioned'primary and Romney won. We were told if we didn't vote for Romney that we would be going to hell.

The RNC chooses when and where primaries are held - the penalty for disobedience is removal of delegates to the convention.

THE RNC needs to be replaced and the constituional party might work. The Libertarians are dope smoking isolationists who hate the military.

***Yes, the RNC is the problem and primaries are a source of solution. From my home page:

Here’s how I think primaries should be organized:

My suggestion is basically to hold the first primary in the state that has the highest percentage of GOP votes in the last election, the 2nd primary in the 2nd highest, and so on. 2 primaries a week for 25 weeks, with the last primaries being the suckup-to-the-democrats. And the democrats could easily have their primary schedule the same way, if they wanted.

This way, if a state is 60% republican, there is still incentive for them to get out the vote for 61% republican so they can bump up their state in the primary schedule.

Also: Rotate all the states (even the big ones) through an early schedule so that everyone gets access at some point to the front line.

Let each state bid when they want their primary to take place. The earlier the primary, the fewer the delegates they control according to some logarithmic or steep curve formula.

Second thing is the order of the primaries should be determined by the percentage of republicans in the last vote. The higher the %pubbie, the sooner the state appears on the primary schedule, with a mix of big & little states and our staunchest republican states get to go FIRST. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1965735/posts?page=862#862
