Because here, and in Illinois where I grew up, many good jobs are political and politicians don't hesitate to pull your voting record to see what party you're registered to. I guess many states are like that though.<BR/><BR/>I'm currently registred as a Republician, as I think of myself as a conservative. I wouldn't change my registration unless I could see myself voting for a Democrat for president...I will vote for Democrats in the lower offices, but those can't be determined by registration. I like O'Bama some, but I can't see myself voting for him, depending on who the Republican nominee is...so there's no way I'd change my affiliation for an instance such as the one you described.The Mad Hoosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16415493548806071023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-23296802985211610592007-12-16T08:15:00.000-08:002007-12-16T08:15:00.000-08:00So, of course, I get a visit on Saturday from Ron ...So, of course, I get a visit on Saturday from Ron Paul supporters asking me to switch from Libertarian to Republican for the caucus.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02770200801562699724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-70359843799610987492007-12-14T15:39:00.000-08:002007-12-14T15:39:00.000-08:00A-ha!

In Cali we have a "Decline to State" registration..and dude..that is what I have been for decades..it allows me to vote for any party candidate and I like it that way since I am pretty much a progressive and find <B>NO</B> one party matches all my beliefs. I have voted green, Dem and..gasp..Repub on occasion ;)<BR/><BR/>But I do think the situation you blogged about is morally wrong to ask of you.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06698117410778232102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699569.post-12354428868483372292007-12-14T13:42:00.000-08:002007-12-14T13:42:00.000-08:00I get where your union is coming from.

I can honestly say that I wouldn't change my party, but if you want to attend the caucus (which is a neat process in an among itself), or are supporting one of the current Democrats and want to get them elected, then I would switch affiliations to ensure they capture the nomination.Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05744575738815184510noreply@blogger.com
