Some Republican activists have argued that opening primaries in Maryland would increase the party’s chances of picking a nominee better positioned to prevail in a state where registered Democrats outnumber them more than 2 to 1.

"We gotta run and be just like Dems...now, now...we can't offend the Dems or make them angry, let's sweep the social issues and those Tea Party cretins under the rug and talk about how we can run the same statist programs a little more effectively than our friends across the aisle. Otherwise those moderate and independent voters that we REALLY, REALLY need to win will...EGADS! Vote for the Dems!"

Open primaries is such a ridiculously stupid idea
