They had an ex congresswoman from California on Meet the Press this morning. She was probably in her fifties, doing a fairly good job of looking like she was only 20. Blond, Nice tan, good weight, good hairdo. She said "I got primaried" in the same tone of voice she might have used to say "I got mugged". Clearly she felt loosing her office in a primary election was dirty, underhanded, un American, and ought to be illegal. Obviously, an incumbent like her was owed re-election.
I got news for her. We invented primaries to let the voters clear out dead wood like her. Incumbents loose primary elections when they alienate their constituents.
