Kakistocracy

Someone should study very carefully what went horribly wrong in the 2000 Republican primary, the 2000 Presidential election, and the 2004 Presidential election that Americans could nominate, elect, then re-elect one of the worst presidents ever. It is a stunning failure of American democracy, one that we should take great care never to repeat.

As painful as the memory is now, and great desire to "move on", this study should be done sooner rather than later before the relevant primary sources die off or are lost.
