Demint has no chance. his comment about single mothers not be allowed to be teachers will be played in a loop over and over. He can win some of the South but after that he fizzles out. But you know stranger things have happened.

As far as how the elections work you must be the most navie person I have ever met if you think that is how things work in politcs. Talk to nader about how easy it is to get on the ballot, if one or both party machines don't want you on it.

When was the last time Ralph Nadar tried to get on a major party primary ballot, the 1960s? We're talking about PRIMARY ballot access. The parties DO NOT CONTROL PRIMARY BALLOT ACCESS.

Please, do you think the Democrat Party WANTED ALVIN GREENE on the primary ballot? Of course they didn't. But, he had the requisite number of signatures, and he had his $10K. The party had NOTHING to do with it.

And I'm the "naive" one. Please.
