Interesting info:

“Although voters who are not already registered as a Democrat are entitled to switch registration in the primary, Ohio law permits pollworkers to challenge a voter’s sincerity in switching. The challenged voter then must sign a statement “under penalty of election falsification” that he or she “supports the principles” of the Democratic Party. (Ohio Revised Code § 3513.20.) It seems unlikely that this provision of Ohio law will be enforced aggressively, but in some localities it may cause an increase in Ohio’s already high rate of provisional voting—since the pollworkers can require any challenged voter to vote provisionally (and any voter who refuses to sign the specified statement must do so).”

The DemocRAT party has no consistent principles, only expedients. So you can answer "yes" truthfully.

I've done the same thing, too -- Friday I registered as a RAT to vote in the WV RAT primary. My plan is to vote for whomever is behind at the time, since I'd like to see the RAT nomination settled in an ugly fight on the convention floor. If they remain close at the time of the WV RAT primary, I'll probably vote for Hillary, since I think she'd be a better (let me rephrase that -- a "less worse") president than B. Hussein Obama, and since I think she'd be an easier opponent in the general election.

On the other hand, my gorge really rises at the thought of voting for that woman.
