Candidacies Shouldn’t Be Like Open Mic Night

Politics Shouldn’t Be Like Open Mic Night was one of today's Op-Ed pieces in the New York Times. I savored the spot-on analyses and opinions of Jonathan Rauch and Raymond La Raja. While the upwelling of progressive candidates (particularly women and people of color) is inspiring, it's also of concern. This piece lays out the challenges, and posits that we should return to more strategic, wisdom-driven selection of who will challenge (in my case) the GOP opponents. 

Over-stocked primaries can lead to the election of people who can't go on to win a general election. For Democrats, these are risks we shouldn't be taking. The stakes are far too high.
