Why spend so much time and money setting all this up, campaigning for over a year and trying to reach out to every possible voter, if they're not even going to allow every voter to have their say?
Well, Washington's primaries were cancelled to avoid spending all the time and money on them. Last night's event was a "presidential preference poll." At this point I imagine the party's had enough of letting every voter have their say and is eager to wrap this up for Romney this week.
There's something odd about supporters of the candidate with the least votes in the primaries, whose entire strategy for victory rests on surreptitiously loading the ranks of uncommitted delegates with his followers/fellow ideologues or gaining enough leverage to demand the nomination in a smoke-filled back room at a brokered convention, asking "why are they even having these primaries?"
I believe that distinction belongs to Newt Gingrich, dumbass...
You believe wrong. Ron Paul has received less than half the number of votes Gingrich has.
