I Prefer a Closed Primary

Bowers:

The decisive swing vote will come in the Philadelphia suburbs, which is just about the only growing area of the state. It is also a region trending blue very quickly, and has a lot of independents and Republicans who are voting for Democrats in general elections, but who can't vote in the primary unless they register as Democrats by March 24th. This three-week registration period could decide the election, since these "new" Democrats will favor Obama, while the currently registered Democrats probably favor Clinton.

Especially now because Republicans are voting for Hillary. Who could have even imagined it? http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/primaries/results/epolls/index.html#MSDEM
