And who decides that? The RNC and the party insiders.
Sure, the matter is complicated. But the problems at the national level are not that different from the problems at the state and local levels. Mike Castle was the preferred candidate of Karl Rove AND the Delaware Republican insiders.
We need to fix this at ever level. But we don't have time to do it before 2012. Too late. So we have to do as much as we can. And if it can't be fixed--then time for a new second party. NOT a third party.
Have you ever been to a precinct, county or state convention? The "party insiders" have to start there, too...at least in Texas. I don't know how others do it.
If you don't have the numbers to control the vote within a party, how do you think division would make things better? It has never worked because it doesn't make sense.
Remember Ross Perot? He only ran because GHWB had refused to work for him. RP was a vindictive little bastard and gave us Bill & Hill Clinton. The mood of the country at the time was the best time for a third party candidate. If it didn't work then, it sure wouldn't work now--with SEIU and ACORN and the MSM.
There are too many people with their hands out these days!
