I think the problem is the primaries come basically one state at a time and mostly in blue states like Iowa and New Hampshire that will rarely if ever vote GOP(conservative) in the 1st place. If I had it my way, the primaries for all states would be held on one day of the year in all 50 states just like the general election. My guess is southern states and lower midwestern and mountain states would have deep sixed Romney from the beginning and we wouldn’t be in this mess right now. I’m in a deep red state that hasn’t even had a primary yet, and I bet Santorum or Gingrich will have either dropped out or won’t even be on the ballot by the time the primary rolls around.
I would go with 10 primary dates with 5 regionally diverse states taking part on each date.
I also think Primary voters should be the ones to vote for House and Senate leaders on the primary ballot. I think this might help keep the RINO’s from infiltrating the party leadership too. Of course right now, they totally control the party.
It is rigged so the RINOS can pick their candidate and force him on conservatives!
