Primaries

Thomas Sowell in his column today makes a fascinating argument that having primaries instead of allowing party operatives to select Presidential candidates is bad for the country. I hadn't thought of this before, but it neatly parallels my argument that the 17th amendment removed responsibility from Senators to represent their state.

Yet another reason democracy isn't really all it's cut out to be.
