Not endorsed by their party [View All]

[question everything]

Was the story on Minnesota public radio several days ago and I was going to ask about this - being new to MN and to the caucus system.

Some of the primaries races are the most interesting in CA. YOu will have two or more running to be on the November ballot as a Democrat or a Republican (or Green, Libertarian and others). But here, during caucuses we debated some issues, and we wrote our preferences for the president, but nothing about representatives to the assembly or the State Senate, not to mention Congress. And I kinda remember in 2002 that the party conventions decided on Moe and on Pawlenty.

In a primary system, say, Judy Deutch and Roger Moe would be voted by all the Democratic voters, not just by the party, the good ol's smoky back room.

Even that idiot from Corcoran - don't remember his name, Linder? The party (pugs) decided that he was not going to be the candidate. Well, I think that this should be up to the pugs in his district.

What do you think?
