I read an interesting article recently in The New Yorker about how little power the Parties actually have nowadays with easy, mass communication and the dollars flowing through the system. We’re in the midst of a change in the power structure and the relationship of the Parties to the people.

This was the same tepid expression of ‘support’ that Miller got when he beat Sen. Thanks, Dad for the GOP senatorial nomination in Alaska. Thanks, Dad became a write-in Independent, kicked his ass in the election by 4%, and after being re-elected went back to the Republican party. The enraged but helpless Miller became a talk show host.

The RNC has been providing guidance to down-ticket Pubbies to simultaneously ride The Donald’s coattails and avoid being associated with his Mad Hatter non-policies at the same time. It’s the “Harry In Your Pocket” campaign model :hankey:

“Uh, so, yes, we’re prepared to support whoever the nominee becomes.”
