Didn't you once disagree with me when I made this exact point to support my position that ALL primaries should be open?
I looked and though I do remember you making that point, I think we were discussing something a little different.
The way I understand it, the respective parties could do away with the primaries if they choose and pick their own nominee. But it seems to me since they don't they can't discount states that participate...especially since the states are paying. It isn't as Larkin is portraying it, that the state is giving money to someone to use as the someone sees fit. It's actually the state running the election.
