Well, let’s hope it catches on. Guys like Duncan Hunter would smoke jokers like tootyfruityrudy long before there was any ridiculous controversy.
So here is your lineup for the 2012 primary
1. Oklahoma (Plains) 65.6% 7 electoral votes, every county in the state voted McCain over Obama, only 2 candidates on ballot
2. Wyoming 64.8% (Mountain West) 3 electoral votes
3. Utah (Mountain West) 62.6% 5 electoral votes (6) in 2012
4. Idaho (Mountain West) 61.5% 4 electoral votes
5. Alabama (South) 60.3% 9 electoral votes
6. Alaska (Pacific Northwest) 59.4% 3 electoral votes
7. Arkansas (South) 58.7% 6 electoral votes
8. Louisiana (South) 58.6% 9 electoral votes (8) in 2012
I think it would be a good thing to allow some of these states early in the Republican Primary process, even though there are only 46 electoral votes in these states, and no states on the east coast, west coast with the exception of Alaska, and the Midwest. The candidates that do well in these states should appeal to the grassroots.
