The (newly elected) incumbent would then be a meat puppet. It would appear Ruedrich is missing his puppeteer strings and wants them back so sent Harris to fetch. Since one would have to resign to take the chance of running, this would prolepsis someone from within the party from bolting to take the lead and in fact, give the reins of who runs to the party apparatchik. Total control of our elected legislators would then be a bad joke as they would be owned by either the D or R party.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5475948014630133294.post-67796350330569726542007-02-20T13:52:00.000-09:002007-02-20T13:52:00.000-09:00I said this elsewhere, but will repeat it here: Th...I said this elsewhere, but will repeat it here: The bill, if passed (I doubt it will be) would set up a bad double standard.

Overall, it would seriously tilt political power to incumbents, more so than power is already tilted that way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
