DCR: Go ahead and close the primaries -- as a very disenchanted former loyalist, I will register R and vote contrary to the establishment line for as long as I draw breath until the party of my past excises itself of its idiocy and comes back to reason. Closing the primaries will only exacerbate what the R's are claiming is going on, only it will be from within. Get with the program and stop trying to disenfranchise the voters!

Question (for disaffected Republicans and Independents): Would you register as a Republican, if forced to do so by the Idaho Republicans' lawsuit, to vote in primaries where there are no Democratic candidates?
