Hi, Terry,
Well put, IMHO. You put the role of the political parties in their proper perspective. If they want to nominate a candidate, let all the parties hold a convention and generate a name. Then we voters can sort them out at our leisure during the primary. This might even improve the quality of the candidates nominated.
