If candidates agree to run in the primaries under a party banner they should be forbidden from running as an independent if they do not win.

In order to expect a lifer politician to keep a promise, especially a 2nd-generation lifer who thinks she is entitled to a life-time appointment by the people, is not a reasonable expectation. Two things come to mind here:

1) The Republicans are the Party of Change.

2) There will be a run on kleenex and diapers after the November election. Whether that will be counted as a stimulus will be up to the counters.
