From 1A vote,, he Kimbcrling addressed several issues he feels point out the benefits of a direct primary over a convention. Primaries are more participatory then having a caucus or a meeting because a mass meeting requires clear public display of party loyalty by an individual, he said. A businessman who must deal with the public may not want to disclose his party loyalty. The public is also more open to pressure groups in a private meeting," he said.

He said he sought a delegate position because some of the incumbents played cat and mouse games with him when he approached them with education related problems. You become a delegate, you've got a legislators ear, Earl said. It's an interesting power. People come to your house to talk to you. Youve got an ear and its fascinating and teachers are finding that out.
