California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made a compelling argument for open primaries on ABC’s This Week with George Stephanopoulos.   The Govenator said there should be open primaries and the two top vote-getters should then faceoff in a final election. 

I have been saying for years that Georgia’s primary system restricts options for voters who like a wide range of candidates.  “I like that GOP guy for senate but I am taking the Democrat ballot in the primary because the sheriff race is big here.”  Of course, some people have been advocating an end to local partisan elections anyway.  Schwarzenegger said this option must be a good idea because both major parties dislike it. 

Stephanopoulos ask the governor who was the leader of American Republicans and Schwarzenegger said President Obama because he is the leader of the country.  (Insert dramatic pause here)

Earlier, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, Florida Governor Charlie Crist and Govenor Tim Pawlenty offered reasonable comments on the stimulus (oops recovery) plans on other Sunday morning shows.  I must say the GOP bench is not as thin and some would think.  L.L. Cool J. had a lyric that said, “The girl walked in and I made my approach…I said you got a good team but you need a new coach.”   I just saying that one of these bright minds would be a productive leader of a party and constructively help with the economic recovery while positioning for 2012.
