21. Nah! Everybody knows it starts at the precinct level.

You have to do it like Robertson and Falwell did in the late 70's, early 80's, on precinct at a time.

If you get the precinct delegates, you have the county convention. If you have the county, you have the district convention. If you have the districts, you have the state convention. If you have the states, you have the national convention. That's how they did it.

Democrats, and apparently nudists, still haven't learned that.

But I wonder which party will be the first.

I am going to go to battle with the "Free Beer" party. We'll just see whether those nudists can stand up to political pressure. But I wouldn't dismiss the forming a Nudist/Free Beer coalition. Can't lose.

Plus the national convention would overwhelm the TV ratings for many years, I would imagine.

How could we not do this?
