Don't worry, they have an "R" next to their name and they're ELECTABLE!! God knows electablity is more important than anything else!
It's pretty hard to select USSC nominee's when you're sitting in Kalifornia in your home district as a Congressman.
Without a viable, electable candidate, you ain't even in the game.
You're really starting to come around now. It's true. Without being elected, there is no power to do anything. That's why Tommy is done, btw. It doesn't matter how GOOD he is if he can't get elected.
