"Elected officials shouldn't get to choose who chooses elected officials." - Lewis Black

3rd edit: Here's an earlier thread on this that I'd missed http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025645570

2nd edit: I just noticed there's a thread about it in V&M here http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017219811 as well
