Is there enough of a grass-roots movement to do such a thing? I doubt it. Without such a movement, endorsing the "primarying" of someone is silly. The point, therefore, is to build such a movement. Then, the movement should be consulted on whether or not to get involved with DP primaries or not. The Tea Party started with the grass roots (of petty-bourgeois types, resentful white males, crazy Texas millionaires, etc.) They _didn't_ start by running Lar Daley or whoever against incumbent politicians in primaries. -- Jim Devine / "Segui il tuo corso, e lascia dir le genti."
