First of all, stop allowing states like Iowa and New Hampshire to have so much sway over who the nominee is.

I’m tired of the race already being decided by the time of the Texas Primary.....Texas, the ONLY big state that is reliably Republican. If anything, Texas should be the first primary.

I don’t know how we beat the people that control the GOP, Romney rolled in, and in 2006 shaped the primaries for 2 election cycles, using a single term as a liberal governor as his launching pad, and to prove worthy to the big money people.

The GOPe doesn’t get everything they want, like Romney in 2008, but they do defeat or out maneuver most of everything that we try.

For one thing, they are willing to work with the democrats if needed, and even campaign against republican nominees when it takes that to defeat us, for instance the Alaska Senate race when Palin gave us a conservative primary winner, the Senate GOP came out for the liberal independent.
