Speaking of Strategy

and this time I was.
Often times my colloquial tangents are "out of the Blue" so to speak.

But Daily KOS suggests a strategy that demonstrates to me the pitfalls of primaries if not the complexity of correcting the political process. Well not the strategy per se, but the fact that there is one and it can happen regardless of other circumstances. Meaning I do not know if the history noted involves the same problem that Michigan has created for itself in trying to be an earlier primary, resulting in the dropping out of several Democrats. I think not.

I would not like to see Democrats participate in the same underhanded tactics that Republicans use, but if independents wish to play that game I would hope that they would pick the candidate that they would prefer to actually vote for in the General Election. Not that it is a game and not that it has not been complicated by problems Democrats initiated. Having said that as a Democrat who believes in pushing and pulling to the left, I would respect voters who would push and pull to the right, and that should mean Ron Paul, rather than play the game that Unity '08 tried.
