No Choice: Reports And Reaction To The Nomination Of Tim Barnes

By Kleinheider Posted on September 18, 2008 at 2:03 am

Left Wing Cracker has flipped the script and now supports both Saturday’s and last night’s actions by the Democratic Party voiding Senator Kurita’s election and handing over the nomination to Tim Barnes:

On Wednesday night, they voted 61-4 to nominate Tim Barnes, a bona fide Democrat, to run. Kurita has filed to wage a write-in campaign, which is difficult to win but not impossible, especially with the support of the GOP, to whom she threw control of the State Senate back in January 2007.

Having learned what I learned, I now believe the TDP had no choice other than to boot Kurita. However, this comes with a warning: You need to take the steps necessary to prevent a recurrence, such as requiring registration by Party in order to vote in a primary election, and taking pre-emptive action to prevent someone who stabs the party in the back, as Kurita did in 2007, from ever having the opportunity to represent the Democratic Party.

Do you think the GOP would have put up with something like this? Hell no, so why should we?
