I voted for Keyes in the Texas GOP primary

..for what good our primary votes counted for anything.

The RNC must change our primary process so that NE liberals don't pick our candidate!

[a fool in paradise]

Recall too that 2 states (Michigan and Florida) did not effectively have a DNC primary contest for President and they encouraged their voters to cross over and vote in the GOP primary.

Also, Democrat staffers (from Howard Dean's campaign) got onboard Democrats for McCain back in 2006.

We did not get to pick our candidate in 2008.

The primary system needs to be overhauled (regarding crossover voters and the weighting of the importance of certain regions of the country over others). Flyover country is the GOP base. The GOP base should be choosing the candidate(s).

And there should be more conservative moderators on at least SOME of the Democrat and Republican primaries. And anyone who is already contracted to write a book about one of the two candidate with a street date on inauguration day should NOT be seated as a moderator because of a conflict of interest.

Bingo!

That one change would make a monumental difference. I have been complaining about that since 2000 when the libs almost gave it to McCain. They finally succeeded in 2008.
