Ha no I weirdly agree; it could have been revised and weirdly the 1960 hybrid with some primaries did kind of work- it also helped with geographic variety and coalition building which was and I guess still is very important in the states

The thing that made no sense was favourite sons- it just lead to straight out machine and corrupt local politics. Caro’s book on LBJ was really good as it showed how little powers senators had over their state delegations at conventions- was all about governors, mayors and county parties.

That’s certainly true, but also I don’t necessarily see that as a problem in practice: governors controlling state parties is more of an issue, but there are too many mayors and counties for any one of them to amass too much power or for their support to be worth too much

I’m not saying individual cases of corruption weren’t really bad in isolation, but in the macro I’m not sure it had too many long term negative consequences
