Why do the parties let people who know so little about politics become party ground runners?

:shrug:

seems to me those 'on the ground' should know a LITTLE something about politics no?

1. Because they don't pay them?

and since when do those who work for the "party" decide to take thier ball and go home if thier candidate is losing? Now if they are candidate "ground runners" that's another story....:eyes:

2. To hammer signs into peoples' lawns?

3. It would help if they had a wee bit of a clue.

Sometimes it's unavoidable though. If a candidate has a hard time getting bodies to volunteer in a certain area, they're pretty much stuck with what they can get.

Beggars can't be choosy and all that.
