The Irony of Not Letting the Voters Decide this Matter

   The irony.
   A group called Count My Vote comes to the notion that more people should be involved in the selection of party candidates. KSL spins it this way: Who will make the decisions: the few, or the many?  And, one of the arguments against the caucus-convention system is that the candidates the masses want are sometimes turned out of office by a select group of political activists, meaning the convention delegates. Some would point to Bob Bennett as an example. Others would suggest Olene Walker.
   So, tomorrow it is expected an agreement will be reached ending the Count My Vote initiative. I find irony in this, for the decision will no longer be extended to the masses, but will be made by the few. The voters won't even have a say.
