If their members have a problem with the rules, they can always vote to change them. <br /><br />This reality has always been a campaign strategy to go after local Dem club endorsements by out-organizing your opponents, and I don't see anything wrong with that. As long as the rules remain open to new members from outside the area, then I believe it's a great strategy on behalf of candidates. It's also very telling to see which candidates have the biggest grassroots momentum and commitment from their supporters.<br /><br />Some candidates will always feel entitled and just be sore losers.<br /><br />L.J.
