That said: within-the-rules "gaming" is reasonable. In a Darwinistic sort of way it might actually be necessary... if nothing else so the loop-holes are found and closed.
Dishonesty though? Not so.
But hey, maybe we should just let the party pick the establishment candidate in every election--even the president. And hey, maybe we should abandon the concept of "democracy" altogether. It doesn't matter if the establishment picks "good" candidates for us anyway, right?
Many of these state party bozos don't know diddly outside of whoring themselves to corporate donors. It's time we think outside the box and bring in candidates who can frame the issues which Dems believe in, instead of bringing in the kids of former Governors and pay-to-play prostitutes.
That's why I'm trying to start a Draft Anthony Zinni campaign to get him to run for Santorum's seat. Even if Casey wins it would help to turn the debate from Casey's positions on abortion and gay marriage to the extreme derilection of duty in the national security realm on the part of the Rethugs.
Whomever we choose in PA, we need to start coming up with new ideas. It shouldn't be harder to elect a Dem in a Blue state than it is for Philly to win a national championship by any of its sports teams.
Way to go Tim!
