Fulani Scores!
Remember this moment well ladies and gentlemen. Lenora Fulani, one of the whackiest of whackjob politicians has scored a political coup. Fulani has joined in an alliance and convinced Michael Bloomberg to abolish party primaries in NYC.
The only thing Fulani ever stood for that made sense was her fierce opposition to the stranglehold Democrats and Republicans had on the election process itself. This necklock worked to keep third party candidates from getting exposure, raising funds and most importantly, debating head with the major party candidates. She should know, everybody in the major parties did everything they could to keep Fulani away with a legalistic 10 foot pole.
Bob Herbert is completely flabbergasted by this development. It just sounds like good news to me.

I haven't followed this story closely, so I can't really say if I agree with Fulani. Non-partisan municipal elections seem to work fairly well here in L.A. and in my hometown, so maybe it's not a bad idea.
Not surprisingly, I believe I voted for Fulani in her 88 Presidential race. It is just about the only vote that I have ever regretted. Well, that one and the vote I cast for the Republican (unfortunately, he's not a Cobb Republican) running for Texas SC Chief Justice the same year.He's still there and still f**king up. My excuse for these votes is that I was 18.
