Par for the Course
Why is anyone surprised? This is just another, if extreme, example of Republicans wanting to make sure that they only appear in front of "safe" audiences and serves an an excellent reason why states should de-fund primary elections.
The parties are private organizations and their primaries are not required to be open to the public, as this little bit of lunacy illustrates, and shouldn't be funded by the public. I'd also like to see elections publicly funded and the Electoral College dissolved. All of which I expect to happen the day after Junior says he's sorry that he screwed up and he should never have invaded Iraq and that he'll start pulling the troops out. In short, somewhere around the 12th of never.
