Semanko: All Sunshine & Lollipops

The following message was sent by Idaho Republican Party Chairman Norm Semanko: “May 15th signaled the end of a competitive and hard fought primary for many positions in our Party. Some would argue that this competition damaged the Party; I argue the opposite. I believe that the enthusiasm and energy we witnessed speaks to the strength of the Idaho Republican Party and is a bellwether to the challenge that Idaho democrats face in November. Please join me in uniting behind the Idaho Republican Party and fighting for the Republican Party principles that we hold dear. With your help we will maintain Republican seats in the 1st and 2nd Congressional district, and expand our majorities in the Idaho House and Senate.

Question: Anyone want to join me in sending a loud BOO to Semanko and the Idaho Republican Party for disenfranchising and confusing voters with a closed primary, for depressing voter turnout, for embracing extreme party platform planks, and for replacing the presidential primary with a caucus?
