I don’t understand the purpose of “open” primaries as was held in Michigan. Why allow non-members of a party to dictate a party’s platform and who that party will support?

Hi BlueOntario—I’m not certain why open primaries were once held, but in today’s climate, Republican establishment types here in South Carolina [read big-central-planning Republicans] like open primaries because Dems can vote for the “moderate” Republican and the Dems and establishment Republicans can at least be in an alliance on not selecting a conservative as the Republican nominee.

In the case of the specifics of Michigan . . . it doesn’t really matter as both candidates are big-government Republicans [although Romney is more-so than the other, so I guess *that’s* something!]
