		<description>Don, I really appreciate your reading and commenting. Thax for thumbs up on diversity matters--I do realize the process will be more diverse. I am glad we will address the primary issue, however. And I really hope the permanent anointees will learn to take turns. :)

		<description>Thanks for the post Kay.  

Hope to see some ideas here on how to fix the primary system.  Given the real timeline for change, the point of departure is the Ohio Plan. http://nationalcaucus.org/gop

While we did have important political diversity, I regret we didn&#039;t have more balance by gender and ethnicity.  It&#039;s just the way it turned out in terms of who is currently most responsible for this stuff.

We&#039;ll do better next time, and we are planning a next time.  And soon.</description>

		<description>Catherine, thanks so much. I see this as a truly bi-partisan issue. Had I not been on the caucus email list, I wouldn&#039;t have known this was even being  done. And thx for fixing vid! best, Kay</description>
