Er, ...wrong!

A Political Party IS a "special interest group", by definition.

Why should the two dominant political parties be able to say that any other party can't nominate whoever the heck it wants to as it's candidate of choice?

Did it hurt the Republican candidate for Governor of New York any because he was ALSO the official candidate of the New York Conservative Party?

No! He got a heck of a lot more votes that way, (and he knows exactly how many of them were from people voting 'straight ticket' Conservative).

What's the harm in that? In letting people vote for whomever they want to? In letting new ideas into the political game?

>>> Yep. And this is one way to get 'em....
