While I'm sure it's nothing new, I really don't like how the RNC is hand picking candidates. It seems that their arm is becoming more farther reaching than ever.
Are we really electing our officials anymore?
I've heard that Grams is a weak candidate who only won in 1994 because of the Republican Revolution. As a weak candidate, he was drummed out in 2000. Clearly, he was outspent. However, it seems clear that Kennedy is the stronger candidate; Grams isn't being forced out but the GOP elected officials have the right to whomever they believe is the stronger/better candidate.
