Incumbents rule

Boston Globe: Politics News - Only 14 of the [Mass.] Senate's 40 seats, and only 58 of the 160 seats in the House, are being contested this year, raising the question of where democracy has gone.

If you think of it, to "elect" means to choose. If there's no choice, how can there be an election? And if there's no true election, where's the democracy?


Good Points! -- David R. Remer, PoliWatch.Org.
