Party Politics the most important thing to FF

I remember being told as a kid that Fianna Fail was a true grassroots party. Then why are party members from all across the country trying to dictate how voters in Donegal South West? Just about every Fianna Fail member that I'm friends with on Facebook have adopted a  Brian Ó Domhnaill twibbon on their profile picture.
 Not only this, I've seen regular updates from these people reminding us mere mortals to tell our friends in that constituency to vote for him. What difference does it make to them if a FFer in a county hundreds of miles ago gets elected or not?
This is typical of Fianna Fail. They're far removed from their grassroots beginnings and are now only interested in party politics. It's this attitude, on top of an abysmal recent track record, that will lead the party to failure in 2011's General Election. 
I have a fiver on Sinn Fein's Pearse Doherty.
