Is anybody focused on improving the primary election process? [View all]

In this cycle, many voters (self-included) are learning about just how screwed up and UN-democratic the primary election process is. Is there anyone focused on this that is not a party hack?

It is, IMHO, quite possibly the area where we need to begin, since many folks incorrectly view it as a government driven process and mistakenly feel it is inherently 'democratic'.
