this is great news.

Although I see this attempt as a harbinger of a Closed primary someday.

+rep for prescience: SB 62 Primary elections; adds party affiliation to information an applicant to provide when registering. (http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?ses=121&typ=bil&val=sb62)

wow...talk about raising a thread from the dead...lol..

Thanks for the rep..

It's pretty sad that we are moving closer and closer to a primary system that is going to demand you have to be in an exclusive group in order to pick someone for the "people" to lead this country.

You're welcome! The "loyalty oath" in the OP caught my eye since that was an issue for 2012 as well. But it looks like the RPVA is backing off (http://www2.newsadvance.com/news/2012/jan/17/republican-party-virginia-drops-loyalty-oath-requi-ar-1618171/) from that again. I guess I'll see you back in this thread in 2016, take care.
