And who did you want to be the nominee in 2008?
You’re missing the point.
If you compare the winners of the primaries and the caucuses it is clear there was a difference in the type of candidates chosen.
The primary heavy schedule gave us McCain.
If we have had 50 caucuses, it looks from the results as if either Huckabee or Romney would have one. What is clear is that McCain would not have been the nominee.
