Three things the Republican Party needs in its next presidential primary cycle.
By Phoenix Roberts
First, the GOP needs to end open primaries.
There’s been a lot of talk on the Internet and elsewhere about the 2008 Republican presidential race. Among other things, it is said that Mitt Romney won all the open primaries and John McCain won the closed primaries. I have yet to verify this statement to my own satisfaction, but I believe the statement on its face. Rush Limbaugh actually promoted “Operation Chaos,” a plan to prolong the Democratic primary. He told fans that, if the GOP primary in your state is over or already decided, go vote in the Democratic primary for whoever is behind to prolong the fight between Clinton and Obama. Chaos did not ensue, but Limbaugh’s operation probably did prolong the agony.
