Linl "In Florida, only those who declare a party are allowed to cast a vote in that party's presidential primary.
Nirenberg said he tried to explain to the poll worker that he should not vote on a party ballot because of his "no party affiliation" status.
Nirenberg said a second poll worker was called over who agreed that independents should not use party ballots, but said they had received instructions to the contrary.
"He said, 'Ya know, that is kind of funny, but it was what we were told.' … I was shocked when they told me that." Nirenberg said he went ahead and voted for John McCain.

McCain will beat Obama by 10 points in Florida. He'll take a battleground state totally out of the mix for the Dems.
It was Martinez, now it’s Robert M. ‘Mike’ Duncan....
Anybody have data on how recently one could change resistration, how easy was it,and what the trends were in party registration??
No one.
The problem is the few conservatives who will bite their lip for McCain wouldn’t then allow him to groom HUCKABEE to be the NEXT president.
McCain may have gotten more Republican votes,but he got a minority of conservative votes.
The two have been growing-now even faster because of Florida-more and more disimiliar.
Rush,like me,is a conservative first and a Republican second.Liberals and moderates can have the new GOP—if McCain wins the nomination,I wash my hands of it.
Conservative principals are the only things that can save the nation and I tire of having them diluted to impotence.
Time to look elsewhere.
Just avoid using the Lord’s name in vain and we’ll be okay.
ya gotta vote. No vote is a vote for the bigger enemy.
And glad you decided to stop lurking and join us!
Delegate Count: McCain 97, Romney 74 (1,191 needed to win)
“Scroll over any county and it shows you the results.”
Looks like Huckabee won 4 counties- I think I’ve found fruitful locations for my snake oil business.
MSNBC reporting that McCain beat Romney among voters who thought the economy was the most important issue!
It is over for Romney.
A huge plus in all this?
McCain is old. Lets hope he picks a conservative VP.
Who? Ron Paul? Michael Bloomberg?
FDR won his election and screwed up the country for twelve years. Maybe that's ancient history.
Clinton won and screwed up the country for eight years and then some. Can America afford that much?
I am not a McCain supporter ... I wanted a conservative ... however, the first five out of the race were all the conservatives (Gilmore, Brownback, Tancredo, Hunter, and Thompson).
Forget about it, no McCain for me. He gets the GOP nomination, I am done with it. Will go independent, period.
On Fox today they said he had wasted 80 million of his own money!
I am under no illusions that such a thing would be likely to occur. This party is well on its way to becoming hollow. It has no national party discipline, no strategic plans, no unified vision. It seems that most of its Federally elected members act more out of personal desires or narrow special interest influences. There is no cohesion or single strong party leader. It is, in my opinion, adrift, rudderless and bound to split faction-ally and hemorrhage members.
If I understand him correctly, he's restricted by McCain-Feingold's equal time laws on pushing a candidate on the air?
