Difference seems to be, our whacky fringe isn't the driving force for our legislative agenda. When Keyes or Buschanan or Moore are leading the way in session, you may have a point.
Yeah, we both have our whacks. We roll our eyes at ours. You allow yours to lead caucuses. I fear such a move will lead to a two-party system consisting of moderate R's versus Right-wing R's. I think the system needs more diversity in choice, but allowing Boxer to be perceived as the D leader just marginalizes their chances for building more of a base.
