I still find the idea of having a primary be "open" to be kinda of ridiculous.

I agree with this, but I don't exactly understand your process. Here only party members choose the leader at a leadership convention.

I used to think this too, but why is it a requirement that parties be involved in a public activity. Isn't in California that made the primaries open and then the top 2 vote getters, regardless of party compete in the general election. Why should the public pay for activities around the selection of party candidates?

I want a candidate who will be fiscally conservative and socially liberal. Which one would that be? Obama, or Romney?

The party system is set up to never have such a candidate.

Closest thing to it in recent history might have been JFK -- but he was merely fiscally moderate.
