Power of the Party?

Hijacking the Primary
Endorsements seem problematic to me prior to the Primaries. I'm bothered by the Party endorsing Tom Corbett for Governor, for example. I believe that tends to disenfranchise me, and that the right thing to do would be to let the Republican voters choose their favorite in the Primary and then the Party should endorse that person and bring all its power and resources to support the people's choice. That's the bottom line for me, you have to trust the voters - no playing God allowed!

I was actually a delegate to the special election where Tim Burns won against Russell for the Interim Candidate endorsement in a vote that was around 85 to 45. I think the process was not the most unbiased one that could have been used.
