We can determine from recent history that the “next in line” theory of electing candidates from either party is a sure fire way to failure. That an “individual” earned the right of the party loyalty because they waited in line and now it’s their time no matter what the voters really want is a sure fire way to pick Bob Dole, Mitt Romney, Hillary Clinton or in other words get the other party in office. Instead the party should seek an individual who truly excites the grassroots by touching on the issues that adds electricity to a campaign even if it means touching the 3rd rail. We might want to be loyal to those that served but if we want to win then let’s worry about being loyal to those that pay their checks instead .
