When many progressives railed and rallied for a primary challenge to Senator Joe Lieberman, the contempt and disdain heaped on them (I was one) from the Media and the Right was piled high. It will be interesting to see how the Media covers the growing GOP Primary Fever, which started with urging John Bruning to challenge Chuck Hagel in Nebraska:

An Instapundit reader later urges primary challenges for compromise supporters, Kausfiles seconds the idea. Riehl World View is just done with the whole party.

Mickey Kaus, whose political affiliation seems to be Republican but it is not always easy to tell if he is just an independent, writes:

the prospect of political defeat is the thing politicians most understand. (The money helps them avoid the defeat.) That means the most effective thing that could be done to pressure pro-comprehensive Senators is to start organizing actual campaigns against them--primary challenges, but also general election challenges to Republicans from anti-comprehensive Dems, and vice-versa. It's easy to organize on the Web, and by organizing now you might get your Senator to change his or her vote. Once the vote is cast it's too late. ...

The vituperative Mickey Kaus! Who'da thunk it? But all kidding aside, I applaud these attempts to organize "people power." I think political parties should be where ideas are debated, and primaries are the right vehicle. I think every candidate should be primaried, even the ones I like.
