I would be 1000 times more comfortable with THOSE 10 states picking our nominee.
But then how would we get someone electable, like Dole, McCain, Romney, or Jeb? Silly conservatives, don’t know how to win. Trust in Rove. And New Hampshire.
In all seriousness, I would love to see those 10 states being the deciders. But it won’t happen, because the Republican party establishment is an avowed enemy of the middle class, conservatism, and common sense (differing only in strategy and tactics, not goals, from the Democrats).
