I know the Dems unwillingness to accept redistricting changed the playing field for Congressional elections, but how would that affect the Presidential nomination? If there is the need to keep Ohio legislature primaries in March, why not the Presidential? <br />In 2008 we had little choice by the time it reached Ohio and I think some in the ORP would like to keep it that way.JCWnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-71811497288352821832011-10-22T21:25:50.119-04:002011-10-22T21:25:50.119-04:00JCW: if the primary gets moved, its because of the...JCW: if the primary gets moved, its because of the Dems refusal to accept that last November's election had any consequences. Moving our primary to 2nd to last doesn't benefit the ORP at all. It would weaken their influence on the nomination, not strengthen it.<br /><br />We've all had our frustrations with the ORP at times, but they were not involved with this event.Nick (aka Bytor)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15826772166599084105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-36689125434159894982011-10-21T17:04:42.707-04:002011-10-21T17:04:42.707-04:00Santorum-Cain 2012!Santorum-Cain 2012!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7743530438680774250.post-12885291069405032792011-10-21T10:45:15.360-04:002011-10-21T10:45:15.360-04:00I am a regular devotee of this and other blogs and...I am a regular devotee of this and other blogs and a news junkie...yet this is the first I've heard about it!<br />I will not be attending, and I doubt many will...why is the Ohio Republican Party so disorganized? I know this is being done by Franklin County, but...it makes me think that ORPINO has their candidate already chosen and will use this outcome as justification to move the primary to benefit that candidate.JCWnoreply@blogger.com
