What I think is interesting in the whole electoral process - Senate, House, Govs, President - is that everyone always talks about how they don't want politicians. Yet those that run that aren't politicians - or have no previous politicial experience but perhaps turn into politicians - get little support.
I voted for Steve Forbes in the 2000 AZ primary.
I'm not a Wesley Clark fan, but he didn't fare well on the dem side in the primaries.
What is the reason for this? Is it the political party structure keeping those who haven't "paid their dues" out of the running? Hmmmm.....
