25. Most states have open contests
In particular, Iowa and New Hampshire do and those are the states where the other party could really fuck with the process to nominate a weaker candidate. The fact is that it's very hard to coordinate an effort to get the other party to nominate a weaker candidate. Also, it's often hard to tell who will be weaker among the candidates that have a chance. If the Republicans could dilute the primary so that they could run against Mike Gravel I'm sure they would. But there are varying thoughts about whether they would rather run against Hillary or Obama.
