Primaries, in general, are a problem that needs to be solved.

If you have open primaries, it's too easy for people in the  opposing party to
vote for the least qualified candidate - effectively causing good candidates to
be "primaried out".

The closed primaries are more secure, but if you aren't a registered member of
the party, you can't vote for any candidates.

Here in Michigan, our problem is that the Democrats have a closed primary and
the Republicans have an open one.  I think you can see the problem there.

It's no wonder that in many elections, my choice is between Tweedle-dee and
Tweedle-dum.
