Yep! The caucus process is designed so that a few people can excercise disproportionate political influence and usurp the votes of the many to maintain a facade of legitimacy. Up to this year, the people excercising the disproportionate influence have been insiders such as Villere. Once the GOP insiders realized that the RP supporters figured out the rigged system and were taking advantage of it, the insiders threw a hissy fit and changed the rules so that they could maintain control and shut out non-conforming voices.

except they DIDN'T change the rules, they TRIED to, they were never ratified. That sort of language could actually hurt us despite my emotional agreement with the post.
