I've changed my mind. I'm going to change my registration to Democratic, at least
from tomorrow until after my State's primary election.

There's someone I want to help with my vote. But I'm not going to say who it is, nor am I about to sling any insults at the other candidates or their supporters.

Vote for whoever you think is best in your primary; you'll get no argument from me.

And if enough of you vote for another candidate, so that candidate gets nominated instead of my favorite, well, guess what: That's democracy, and I won't bitch and complain.

What I will do, if my candidate doesn't get nominated, is to vote for the winning Democratic candidate in November.

Just my two cents.

Redstone

1. I had done this on December 31, 2000 - after the first theft - also for primaries.
And - good advice.

2. You'll get no arguments from me, my dear Redstone...
I think it's a very smart move...

And, like yourself, I will vote for the Dem nominee in November...

:hi:

3. Good for you, Redstone!
If you can't vote in the primary, you can't "count". It's a good thing...

7. Not that I'm trying to discourage you
but by then, I think the race will pretty much have sugared off.

9. By February 5th?
There's a very good chance that it will still be undecided at that point. And, even a slim chance that it may not be decided then.

12. That's when we vote here too
Even the ultra-slim chance that we may be relevant has us all a flutter. Kermit the Frog said it best, "it ain't easy being green." Except in this case it's blue in a red state. :P

13. Damn! I thought I hit post before I closed my browser last time.
Good for you!! I'll be voting for a Democrat in the end, even if it's not my favorite.
