The rats have been controlling our primaries, IMHO.
The concerted effort to move primaries forward resulted in having rat primary delegates stripped and rats registered as republicans to drive the results of our primaries.
In open primaries, this wasn't necessary as they could simply crossover and vote for McCain or Huckabee.
In Florida, there is a big push for McCain. Even my idiot liberal bro-in-law will change to republican to vote for him. Told me so at Christmas.
This is a plan long in the making.
The only real way around it would be to force a brokered convention or threaten a break with the party so fierce that party leaders couldn't ignore it.
IMHO, Thompson, Hunter and Romney are probably on the only true viable candidates amongst real representative Republicans. Our primary vote was diluted by crossovers and democrats registering as Republicans.
We've truly been disenfranchised, FRiends.
As President he will have the veto pen.

I am greatful for that. I just hope that we can keep veto proof in November.
