MJ: Absolutely not! No person can have (or have others mandate) an influence greater that our FAIR, Representative Republic will allow! The political parties constantly try to get more power & influence than one-person-one vote, and THAT is UNCONSTITUTIONAL! I've repeatedly written that the entire space-out primaries are UNCONSTITUTIONAL, because they give the most power to the God-damned people of IOWA! The only viable presidential candidate to save the USA is the one(s) who eschew party affiliation and wasteful press-the- flesh primaries. Hear that, Sarah Palin? — John A.
