The Republican Party "On Caucuses"
***
Republicans weigh plans to replace caucuses with open primaries to reduce power of right wing. "[T]he party leaders pushing for changes want to replace state caucuses and conventions, like the one that nominated Mr. Cuccinelli, with a more open primary system that they believe will draw a broader cross-section of Republicans and produce more moderate candidates. Similar pushes are already underway in other states, including Montana and Utah, and last week Mitt Romney said Republicans should consider how to overhaul their presidential nominating process to attract a wider range of voters." Jeremy W. Peters and Jonathan Martin in The New York Times.
