Reply #19: I favor open primaries...

People are going to be more likely to vote for our nominee if they have a say in who it is. Also people who claim that they have more right to choose the nominee because they've worked for the party for years need to realize that not everybody who registers Democratic has done that same amount of work. Some Independents have worked harder for the Democratic Party than some Democrats have. When party registration is merely checking a box, there's really not a reason to exclude Independents and Republicans.
