Rush is correct.
When I go into the voting booth, I first look at the Conservative Line on the ballot. Then I check the Republican line.
If the same candidate is on both lines for a particular office, I pull the Republican lever down, if it is different, I pull the Conservative lever to vote against the Republican candidate, and for the Conservative candidate.
I am registered as a Republican, but actually consider myself an Independent Conservative. If I were to register as the latter, I wouldn’t be able to vote in the primaries, unfortunately.
Palin/Thompson...Thompson/Palin...Sarah/Fred...Fred/Sarah.
Anyway you slice it, those 2 should make up the ticket in 2012.
