EXCLUSIVE CLUB

As if everyone was trying to join up, the so minority California Republicans have closed the doors to outsiders this year.

If you are registered as an Independent ("decline to state."), you cannot vote in the Republican Primary.

Shut out by GOP, independents may tilt Democratic

Now I happen to agree with them.

If you want to vote in the Primary, then state your Party. Sign up! Show your colors!

The delegates are, after all, going to a Party convention.

I think that I may have been an Independent once or twice but I am not sure.

I do know that I would not want to be shut out of the political process for half the election.

But it seems incredibly stupid to be the only Party to be doing it and, in this particular election year, it seems foolhardy.

Party purity has always been very important to the GOoPers.

More so in California where there are so few of them on the ground.

And don't be fooled that Arnie is registered as Republican. He is really an Independent!

American politics is endlessly interesting.

And here we have a case of 'interesting' for sure.
