13. It would be a disaster in November if we allow party hacks to pick the nominee
Edited on Thu Feb-07-08 10:43 PM by IndianaGreen
Talking about handing the election to McCain!

Barbara Boxer said over the weekend that she would vote for whoever won California, in this case Hillary. Another Congressperson said that he would vote for whoever carried his district. Either of these two solutions is preferable to undermining the will of people by having party insiders and favorites, some of whom are not even elected officials, to second guess the electorate.

The worst solution of all bad solutions is having the party Chair intervene in the process, as Howard Dean has said he will. Any interference by the party Chair will be catastrophic and would irreparably split the party, no matter what the final outcome is.

Regardless of who you support, Hillary or Obama, keep the party insiders and their clones OUT of our nomination process!
