I mediate public disputes and a key tenent of working with the public is that you have to work with where the public is, not where you wish they were. This is a loosing strategy for the republicans- Keep it up guys. Every comment like this just shows how out of touch you are. It's sickening.

Nebraska... Maine... whatever... I've had the feeling for months that this is going to be a washout, a game changer, a political realignment.
Landslide democratic victories in the GE. Public sentiment has crystallized.

You dodo, we're not in a democracy. We live in a representative republic based on democratic ideals. With that said, we have elements of popular votes and elements of deliberative bodies (caucuses & legislative bodies). Each process informs the decisions of the other.
Another notion is this idea of disenfranchisement is specious- the primary is for electing a nominee and the last time I checked there is no constitutional right to voting for a nominee. The civil right to vote that is protected by our federal and state constitutions is for elected offices. Indeed, the nominee will eventually run for elected office, but we're not there yet, and until then the prospective nominees need to play the rules of the hosting party, flawed they may be.

As a Virginian, I'm not the biggest fan of the Webb for VP idea, although I support him fully. But if McCain keeps this up, I'd fully welcome this battle royale.

You never know. I mean consider the ideological hurdles this move had to overcome- oversight, regulation, and accountability? My mind is blown. I didn't think they'd be up to the task.
