I do not like the idea of a "Blanket Primary" nor do I like the Louisiana Primary (top-two). I believe that each respective party should have their own private primary (one that is not funded by the federal government) and choose the candidate best suited to represent the party (Montana Primary). This is common sense as it does not allow votes from across party lines to vote the other party's candidate. It eliminates the possiblity of a Democrat voting for the weaker Republican candidate in order to further their party's nominee. However, since I-872 passed this may help the Libertarians in races in which only one major party candidate runs for an office. This often happens and it is possible for 3rd Party Candidate, hopefully Libertarian, to get a big chunk of the vote if not win the election. This initiative may be a blessing in disguise or not...we'll see in years to come. Now if only we can figure out how to maintain our major party status...
