Have Republicans figured out how to make sure Blacks don’t get to vote in Mississippi, in November?
“Organized interests representing the views of only 3 to 4 percent of the electorate can win those primaries and propel one of their own to office.”
On the bright side, organized interests representing only 3% of the electorate are slightly more representative than the aristocracy was in pre-revolutionary France.
Uh, oh.
And this is why we can’t have nice things in this country.

Here’s the question - how many of these primaries were hotly contested on each side? Case in point: Kentucky Senate was a much hotter primary on the R side - same with Georgia Senate. It’s one thing to note that Democratic primary participation has declined for 29 straight midterms. It would be another to point out that several of those midterms (1998 and 2006 come immediately to mind) saw the Democrats add seats in the General. I’ll start looking at polls post Labor Day.

So what else is new? Americans will continue to not show up and vote until there’s nothing left of their country.Then they’ll sit around and bellyache all day, trying to figure out where in the heck it all went. Ah, “Freedom” at its very finest!
