News out of West Virginia where they are holding a Caucus or convention, indicates that no Republican candidate received more than 50% of the vote. They wound up at just after noon eastern.
They failed to pick a candidate.
Like a jury, they get a break for lunch and then they have to go back in and fight it out like 12 angry men.
It would seem to be more effective if the states would drop the Caucus and convention stuff and actually let the voters decide in a popular vote primary. As it is they might as well let voters write names on a piece of paper and choose randomly from a drawing of names in two billet grilles, one for each party.
To enable gridlock and take power away from the people at the same time just seems backwards and has no place in the United States in 2008.
I respect the States rights to decide how to vote, but that does not mean that I have to respect the validity of their decision, especially when the people do not even get a chance to decide on HOW they will nominate a candidate.
