The Bishop and the Butterfly: Murder, Politics, and the End of the Jazz Age

    Are the democrats too, well, democratic?

    o just a month before the date scheduled for the Wisconsin governor's recall election , the democrats had a contested primary to chose their candidate.

    o in a California district with a massive democratic majority the Congressperson will be a Republican since a multitude of democratic candidates so split the large democratic vote that the two winners were the (only) two Republicans who divided the much smaller Republican one.

    Is it a good thing to have closely contested primaries to involve the base and to demonstrate we are boss-free and probably for other good reasons?  Or is that just unilateral disarmament, guaranteeing permanent Republican majorities and policies?

    Just asking?
