Eric Cantor was primariedFollow
They're talking about moving us to an open primary in the hopes of keeping any potential elected people more moderate.

Both have a Tea Party guy getting nominated but only (A) has an extra GOP vote in Congress. If the GOP wants to diminish the influence of the Tea Party, they have to do it in the primaries. In fact, the narrative this primary season was how the establishment GOP was taming the Tea Party with incumbents fighting off new primary challengers but that seems to have been derailed between Cantor and the Mississippi senate primary.

Maybe it's like the Confederacy. The beginning of the beginning of the dawn of the prelude of the onset of the start of the South rising again!

Right. Just like I was "scared" of Palin or "scared" of how Romney was getting big event crowds, etc.
Speaking of, where's my $50?

Zzzzzzzzzing!
In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Boehner has said it is Obama's fault Cantor lost his primary.

Well, he should probably send Obama a thank you note, Cantor's knife has been inches from Boehner's back for years.

That's what I'm sayin'! Here I've spent years waiting for the Act V blood on the Senate floor. Oh, well.

Republicans are whatever they need to be, at any given moment, to best **** and whine about Obama.

Cross-party voting in the primary?
If that's the terminology, then yes. It's legit, which is why I label it dirty. It's just as dirty within the same party where your candidate is too weak to win (3rd or 4th in the polls), so you vote for the person in 2nd place (assuming that the individual in 1st is the real threat). It's legit, but it doesn't represent what the people want.

Well, it does in so far as what people want is "not Eric Cantor". Likewise, I really don't see an issue with voting in your own party's primary and picking "best potentially electable" over "guy I like the most".
Ultimately though, it's your ballot. I toyed with the idea of voting in the GOP primary in 2012 but didn't since I didn't really like any of the candidates more than the other. I did vote in the GOP primary this spring because I legitimately wanted the "other guy" to be the GOP nomination for governor even if he wasn't going to be my general election choice. Granted, "my" guy lost anyway but so it goes.

Someone I was talking to made the amusing observation that, while lots of people were surprised by Cantor losing, no one really sounds like they're upset about it. No "He was a model Republican" or "He was the sort Democrats could work with" or any style of "He was the sort of Congressman we need". It's as though no one liked the guy at all.
