Democrats are deciding the presidential nominees of both parties. The party bosses have been banished. Sectional interests are history. The new king makers are the primary voters of New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Michigan. By the end of March the nominees of both parties will have been chosen by nine or ten percent of the electorate.
Today there are only two candidates in the Democratic primary.
In the Republican primary there are three, the last one being Alan Keyes. Something is indeed wrong. The major issue in the Republican primary is that rich people and rich corporations are actually paying for the cost of elections. The major issue in the Democratic Party is which candidate is more ardent for abortion. Bring back the smoke-filled room.
