scott-

i have an idea.

why don't we conduct a preliminary election?
we'll set up elections or caucuses in all 50 states
where people can vote for the candidate they'd like
to have run against the republican candidate in
the national presidential election in november 2004.

whoever receives the most votes will be nominated
as the democratic candidate to run in the general election.

we'll call it a "primary election" because it comes
before the general election. (note: the general election
is called "general" not because it means we're voting
to elect a general... it's because it's open to the
"general public" for the purpose of electing a president.)

this seems to me to be an excellent way to determine
who can garner more votes in an election. it doesn't
guarantee anything except that the person chosen is
the most "electable" democrat. doesn't "most electable"
mean the one who can garner the "most VOTES?"

if you have a better idea or plan please share it.
