    I believe the children are the future, but... (none / 0) (#35)

    Our losses the last few cycles have a lot more to do with rolling over on our backs and yelling "please stop hitting me!" and not letting the people know what we stand for than whether or not we have enough youth/women/left handed goat herders, etc as candidates.

    Maybe I'm mistaken, but it seems to me that we have primaries in this state to winnow down our field of candidates, and the strongest usually survive.  So, the only way to get your desired result is to handpick candidates based on what demographic they meet, rather than their strength as a campaigner.  Or what they believe in.

    And, if that's the case, I hope you are pretty good at picking people that have a good work ethic, that are quick on their feet, and are willing to actually work... and know the issues.

    Oh, and have the right "look", and gender, and so on.  

    Bean counting and quotas and cherry picking demographically 'right' groups aren't how you win.

    Presenting a good case is how you win.  

    I'm quite sure that if you win your primary (and good luck, fyi) you'll win it because you are the best candidate and worked the hardest, not because everybody felt good about voting for a young guy.
