I agree with Ernest - either everybody gets to participate, or everybody (i.e. the taxpayer) doesn't have to pay for the primary. Since our system is so deeply partisan, and power is concentrated in only two parties, it is only fair that independents should be able to participate in how they are governed.
As for Specter, I have all but given up on him. I am deeply troubled by his vote on the "stimulus" plan. I'd still vote for him because he's our only shot at keeping the Dems out of the mid-60's... but our Party needs to develop a clearly anti-debt platform and he drove a knife through that ideal.
