That election should've been a slam-dunk for the RNC, so they took the opportunity and ran as far left as they could thinking that the upstate upstart conservatives wouldn't have anyplace else to go.<br /><br />She was so bad that the conservatives kickstarted their own party with Doug Hoffman on the ticket. Scozzafava then tanked in the polls with nobody supporting her but the men from the smoke-filled room.<br /><br />She soon dropped out and threw her support, not behind the conservative Hoffman, but behind the Democrat candidate.<br /><br />That's where the men in the smoke-filled room will lead you.<br /><br />If, and I say IF they're going to scrub the primary system, they need to do two things:<br /><br />1. Arrainge the primaries so that the states which voted most heavily for the Republican candidate in the previous presidential election go first. Oklahoma, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, etc. Reward those states for their party loyalty, and make it difficult for Democrats to act as spoilers.<br /><br />2. Don't use the 'Commission on Presidential Debates'. Look them up, it's run by a bunch of libs. <br /><br />www.debates.org<br /><br />One of the heavy hitters on the Board of Directors is Howard G. Buffett, eldest son of Warren Buffett. Is it any wonder why the focus of all the debates has little to do with real issues?<br /><br />If they're going to start over, they need to look at these two suggestions to make the party stronger.Larrynoreply@blogger.com
