aceventura, did you see some numbers that democrats voted for McCain in the primaries?
In California, voters can't vote for the opposite major party during the primaries. I think it's the case in Oregon, too, but I haven't voted there for about 15 years.
If most states have open primaries, then I guess unscrupulous people could sabotage the other party :\
I don't get the SC argument, cimarron. I mean, I understand what you're saying and it makes sense, but it seems like you're saying that if not for SC in 2000 McCain would have been a viable candidate against Bush. But now he's not? Why was he a viable candidate in 2000 but not in 2008?
