Today I register as a Democrat. Sigh.

Whyfor do you leave your independent position?

[silverbromide]

Because usually Pennsylvanians have the unfortunate luxury of possessing no say in the primary election. The candidate is usually declared before April. This allows independents, third-partisans, and other irregular voters to rest easily in our lack of participation in the democratic process. This year PA is actually important, and the race is close enough and my opinion strong enough that i feel compelled to say something. Don't worry; i'll return to my non-denominational status in a few months.

For primary purposes? I am too.

I wish PA was a state where Independents could vote in more primaries - quite unfair...

[silverbromide]

Yeah, I know. But it's kind of fun cheating the system!

have fun mattering!

Enjoy casting a vote that people are going to be really interested in counting! I'm a little jealous! I love the smell of a fresh voting machine :-)
