The problem with this is the well-oiled political machines on both the Dem/Rep sides. Anyone who tries to start a primary run is discouraged and they attempt to block them at every turn. People are more worried about pork and getting seniority so their senator can be on different committees, like my own Arlen Specter. You have virtually no chance of running against an incumbent from your own party in a primary and winning.

Just as I never publicly admitted that "Chappaquiddick Teddie" and "Bahney Fwank" served as Senator and Representtive for my district when I lived in MA, I'm afraid there is no way in H#XX that I would ever call "'Magic Bullet -- Scottish Law -- Bury it in the Litterbox' Arlen", "my own" Senator...

Diggler's right. Just look at what the Floriduh Republican Party is doing to Kathrine Harris.

You're thinking traditional politics. This isn't a traditional political approach because, in the first place, we will run a grassroots campaign to replace a sitting Republican with another conservative. This means a tremendous amount of shadow politicking, door-to-door campaigning, write-in campaigns and the like.

The traitors in Washington are counting on you believing that an alternative approach is dead before it ever starts. Obviously, I disagree with that approach.
