The Case Against The Primary

It's time to do away with the primary election.

Note the rise of Mike "Screw This Separation of Church and State Crap" Huckabee, who now leads national polls in the race for the Republican nomination. (I mean, really, can you even say 'President Huckabee' without laughing?) Rasmussen Reports notes that Huckabee's rise is because of the party's conservative wing - among the GOP's self-proclaimed moderates and liberals, he's not even on the podium.

Once again, thanks to the primary system, the nation will set itself up for a choice between two candidates who have succeeded in doing one thing better than anyone else - advancing their party's line furthest from the mainstream.

And they wonder why the moderates stay home on Election Day.
