donmeaker,
This is just a PROCESS my friend... a process that brings politics a little closer to home... ever heard the term “ALL POLITCS IS LOCAL”? We have drifted so far from that in the HOUSE... I would NOT be in favor of this approach for Senate races, but I think we need to do SOMETHING to get rid of career HOUSE members who are often too easily re-elected.... again, I find it very hard to believe that we don’t have folks in our hometowns who can better represent US in the the U.S. House of Representatives.

If we get rid of career Republican house members, in an election that pits Republicans against Democrats, that elects a Democrat. If you run a third party candidate, you split the Republican vote, and that elects a Democrat.
The correct thing to do is to run a conservative Republican in the primary against a less conservative Republican. Another thing to do is to run a conservative Democrat against a less conservative Democrat in a primary election.
Then, vote for the most conservative in the general election.
