And it wouldn't hurt if they'd never even spent the night in Texas.
Just once, I'd like the major parties to actually nominate a candidate during the upcoming process instead of just rubber stamping the anointed one in their party.
Btw, it's past time for the Tea Party to break away already, and for the Dems to kick the extreme lefties out as well. A two-party system is not specified in our constitution and was never meant to be. We'd get a lot more, probably better, stuff done with 3 or 4 parties and actually having to work together to get laws passed.
