first of all who is MD???
now about the primary system.
it looks like it needs a major overhaul.
I had no choice of people like Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson when the primary season hit NY State...they were gone by that time...even NYs own RINO Rudy was not available by the time we got our primary....
first off we need all primaries on the same day...like the general election. next...eliminate those archaeic Caucuses (cauci?) and last as you put so well, the whole purple state thing where anyone can vote in a primary even if you are not registered with the party being voted on.
the problem with changing any of these things is the states rights issues....so I do not see these changing any time soon.
That would be Mitch Daniels. And if you, unlike me, think he would take America further down the socialist path, go ahead and fire away....
