There is a four-member coalition which desires to seize, or has seized, control of the process by which a President is chosen.

The four members are the media, the pollsters, the consultants, and the donors.

The ACTUAL authorities with LEGITIMATE interests are the State Legislatures, who have plenary power to appoint the electors (except for the three electors Congress granted itself in 1960 by Constitutional amendment), and the voters in those States if the Legislature has provided for appointment of electors by voting.

It is vitally important that all four elements' participation in the choice of a President - media, pollsters, consultants, and donors - be ended as soon as possible.

If this involves something so radical as destruction of the free press, I'm all for it - although it's probably sufficient to simply refuse to participate in the dog and pony shows erroneously called "debates", as performances beneath the dignity of anyone qualified for the office.

“Anyone who is running for president and who gets to choose who the [debate] moderator is,” McCain said, using that ridiculous Solemn Voice of his. “That is the destruction of the free press, as we know it.”

Truly a moronic statement, and I heard Michael Medved say almost the same thing today. The establishment are dedicated to playing by someone else's rules, someone who is not even their friend.
