At the primary you can either take a Republican ballot or a Democrat ballot, that's as far as party registration goes.
That's bizarre. What about total voter turnout?
What I'm trying to get at is how many disaffected voters there are. There are so many people who have just dropped out and quit voting. If they are like many voters here in PA, they quit voting because no one was representing them FROM EITHER PARTY. Everyone perpetuates the idea that you have to run to the middle to get elected and use as evidence the many close races that are run.
Perhaps when a conservative runs in Illinois, the disaffected and turned off voter will return. What people want is a real choice, not a democrat socialist and a republican socialist. We've (the GOP) has been overtaken by liberals thinking that they are helping us. They are just helping themselves to a second bite at the apple.
Go Alan, GO!
