Maybe conservatives could get some traction in the GOP nomination process if they also used the caucus. With the primary system that we now have, it's subverted by independent and dem crossover votes.

Er.. How well have the Democrats done with their system since then in Presidential politics?

[Baladas]

Umm, no, the Democrat Party nomination process is nothing to emulate. Just look at this year - if they had had the GOP’s, Hillary would’ve clinched the GOP nomination weeks ago. But instead, they’re on the verge of nominating the weakest possible candidate possible to face off against Juan.

Hillary could beat him, but she’s damaged goods as well. They can keep their system.

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[The Duke]

Obama will trump Hillary because he has a constituency that's willing to riot in the streets, while Hillary's is only willing to stand in front of a judge.

I guess all power does ultimately flow from the barrel of a gun.

Harold Ickes is a perfectly loathsome individual. Nothing good should be said of him. He didn’t go south to help Blacks, but to create anarchy and deconstruct “the system”. He’s a gruff, anti-social, psychopath and boor. A CCF hitman. I can’t wit to see the back of him, Lanny Davis, Syd Blumenthal et al. The slime will trickle down the sewer.

Obama was a useful tool to rip the Democrat party from the Clintons, but he may deliver it to the far, far left. Still better than Toons (because the public can’t resist the Toon schmooze and BS).

-- movements in which Hillary Clinton's top strategist, Harold Ickes, was a key player.

Ickes is the one who set up these PRIMARY RULES!!! THAT's why Obama OWES ICKES!!!! The Nominatrix was going to be CORONATED, and now she's BEGGING for sloppy seconds!

Barack Obama stands on the brink of capturing the presidential nomination in large part because of Democratic Party reforms initiated by the civil rights and anti-war movements of the 1960s -- movements in which Hillary Clinton's top strategist, Harold Ickes, was a key player.

When Obama was barely three, Ickes took part in Mississippi Freedom Summer, helping the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party send a primarily black delegation to the 1964 national convention in Atlantic City.
