Now if you were to become to Utah, Utah what Woody Allen is to NY, NY, you would likely have a global audience. Sounds fascinating.<BR/><BR/>LH - I may just form the green libertarian party instead. :)<BR/><BR/>Eric & Dave - we used to have an open primary in CA. I loved that. Depending on which party had the most interesting candidates, I could vote any which way - and often did. Now I'm registered as an independent which basically means I have no influence in the primaries.Ron Davisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11972794876337195698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-76367138637495577722007-02-21T22:41:00.000-08:002007-02-21T22:41:00.000-08:00In Utah, particularly in Utah county where I'm fro...In Utah, particularly in Utah county where I'm from, the only way to make a difference in politics is to register as a republican and vote for the most liberal candidate in the primaries.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-2518978416070495842007-02-21T16:28:00.000-08:002007-02-21T16:28:00.000-08:00Here in the heart of the South, we can vote in eit...Here in the heart of the South, we can vote in either primary without registering before hand. You "register" when you appear at the polling place.<BR/><BR/>In most years here, some politician is sent to the showers in the primary by "cross-over" voters who vote for a person who would be a weaker candidate in the general election or for the person running in the "other party" who is less objectionable.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04411527807049220749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-21184797952127921802007-02-21T10:43:00.000-08:002007-02-21T10:43:00.000-08:00In Wisconsin I was able to do this without registe...In Wisconsin I was able to do this without register, but that also means all the democrats go out and vote for the Republican primaries, or vice versa, I think it's a good thing, but it could mess things up.Erichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12977544021660108340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32914592.post-66370479824700274062007-02-21T09:52:00.000-08:002007-02-21T09:52:00.000-08:00Ron, you should register as a republican.

I'd like to bring the party back to its roots by remaining as part of the disloyal opposition.<BR/><BR/>It cracked me up that many of the campaign workers for the democrat candidate who lost narrowly in my district were republicans.
