I've always thought open primaries are a really, REALLY, bad idea. A parties candidate ought to be picked by his own party, not by a bunch of destructive interlopers from the opposition.

August raises the same point I thought of when I first read this story, but I can't help but think that the Obama/lefty political machine will work hard to assure he would only face a marginal opponent in 2012.

Well political campaigns are in the midst of a great technology driven change right now. The party that has a better handle on its direction will have the advantage.
