Chris Bowers wins in Pennsylvania
I mentioned that Chris Bowers on a whim had decided to run for a seat on the DCC in Pennsylvania and I got some excited emails from Jane over at Above Average Jane informing me that he had succeeded in winning with his write in campaign. The implications of this win will probably echo around the blogosphere for quite a while. Establishment Politicos live in absolute terror that people will start actually paying attention to the political organizations that they belong too. No matter the political party, they want us to vote when we are told, give money when they ask, and other than that they want us to mind our own business. We don't know enough to "understand" what they are up to. Americans have abandoned their traditional role as the managers of their political future and instead have left it in the hands of people who don't trust them. It's time for Americans to actually involve themselves in politics and it's time for politics to get messy for the politicos. Sometimes it's good to have a primary because it forces people to become involved in the political process, which is what we need to make sure that we have better choices to offer people come election day.
