I don't like the idea of outsiders choosing our nominee. Party members don't deserve the nominees that outsiders thrust upon them in an open primary. I lived in a state that had an open system and the democrat incumbent was running so not much of a contest on the democrat side of the ballot. So many democrats decided to skip their primary and vote in ours. Nearly all of them voted for the weakest republican that they virtually guaranteed victory for their democrat incumbent. What would be the reason for a minority party to open up their nomination process to the opposition? I honestly wonder, what were party leaders thinking? So California gets it right. A closed primary. As we know Mitt did very well and if he had gotten just a few percentage points it could have been a very different result. I live in California and know that the voters were supportive even if the local talk shows were not. KSFO had virtually nothing good to say. But away from the squawk, he starts from a position of strength and I think, should he run, and he better run, the California delegates are his to lose. I prefer closed primaries.
