[Peace-discuss] Let's draft Carl to primary Rodney

[Robert Naiman]

On the gender question, you'd be running in the Republican primary, and
Republicans care much less about that in general. Look at the Republican
Caucus in the House - it's overwhelmingly male.

On the age question, I think people would excuse you if you didn't run all
over the district. You'd get a bunch of free media just by being a
candidate with which to challenge Rodney on war and peace issues, and civil
liberties issues; you wouldn't need to run back and forth to Taylorville.
Basically all you have to do is gather the petitions, which as we know is a
low bar for a major political party, and file the papers. Then you get free
media.
