Nationwide free-for-all? Yay, that means we could go back to the times where the parties would pick multiple candidates for the general election!! Smiley

No, that's not necessary.  Just go back to the nominees being decided by party bigwigs a la the pre-1972 system.  Opening the selection of nominees up to the voters via a nationwide patchwork of primary elections is a failed experiment which we should pull the plug on.

Quickly coming to the same opinion myself, sadly.

That being said, if we're going to have a primary system, I would prefer some sort of group primary dates with the states involved following the Texas "prima-caucus" system.
