I myself have been questioning the idea of a party based system..why not just vote for people who you believe are qualified to lead? Why the hang up on parties?

Good question.
I never gave it much weight.
Registered as a Democrat 40+ years ago and voted for democrat presidential exactly twice...

Had tons of fun in the primaries though.

You too? My husband - FReeper "zelig" does the same thing. Always votes Republican in the elections, but loves to "vote out the bad guys" in the DemocRAT primaries. Problem is, here in CT the bad guys RARELY get voted out! :-(

He also loves to point out the fact that he's a "Registered Democrat" (LOL) to our two esteemed DemocRAT Senators - LIEberman and Dodd - when he's writing an angry letter to one or both of them.

Me, I just can't BEAR to see anything but an "R" after my name when I go to vote!
