5. Is your state actually going
to have a Republican primary? There might be some satisfaction to voting against him at that point, but you know that there's no serious challenger to his being re-nominated.

Better to vote in your Democratic caucus or primary for the man you most want to be the nominee or think has the best chance of winning in in November.

2. Yes.
If they are manipulating the electronic ballot boxes, they can reinforce their bogus numbers by the number of registered Republican voters. As long as they stay within reasonable parameters. The higher the number of Republican voters, the more they can streeeetch the bogus votes.

This is all hypothetical, of course.

6. I think clark shows the downside..
Later in life it might be tough to be trusted if you've been a republican...and really when you've been one all your life and switch to run for prez.

7. i went through a similar thought and decided against because...
it would mean supporting the republican party IN ANY WAY AT ALL... as by voting against *, you are voting "FOR" something else and hence using your power of choice to empower the evil neocon adgenda.

I don't speak to them, i don't shake hands with them... they are foul scum... i don't join the nazi party to vote against hitler either...

Its a nice idea, but better to keep building the synergy of a democratic victory by focusing on our own conundrum. The best way to win is to do better, not to trip your opponent. They are vermin, let them gnaw.
