I have to agree. Despite the problems that we encounter, I still would not want to see any reduction in the ability of the people to choose their own president. The public nature of the primaries are great because so often the 'anointed' candidate is rejected by the people and replaced by one deemed to represent that party all the better, and when they are not defeated, they often get a good dose of changes they need to make if they are to continue to get support.
