keep it so only those that actually identify with their party vote for which person will represent the party in the general election. If people want to switch for the general that's a different story. But for the primary it's in the best interest of the party and the people in it to keep it closed and have the date to switch well ahead of the primary date.

Yeah, this is fair. I just mean for recruiting newbies ... but I take your point, and I see how it can impact that idea. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 10, 12:49 1
