This is a counter argument to Tim's urge to have everyone join a party. I'll offer a counter point in that by registering for a party you are locking yourself into a two party system and it can keep the candidates inside the box. But as an independent it makes the candidates work for their money (votes in this case). They don't know how your voting and they just don't focus on their party because lets face it neither extreme of the either parties are ok, but the hybrids of they system are the best in my opinion.
But I do agree with Tim you should definatly vote in the primaries. You can't bitch that you don't like the candidates at the big election if you didn't participate in the primaries.
I actually have a question, how do you guys feel about defensive voting? I.e I would never vote dem. but I vote for obama cause I would rather lose a nut that have Clinton in the office.
