Aren't you "too scared" to admit that?

Yes, they do need some help, but more votes isn't what they need :wink:

I'm glad you registered to vote!!! Can't say the same about your choice of party, but the main thing is, you registered to vote!!! Good job!

I'm a registered Democrat in St. Mary's County also - and I've never registered with any other party.

I still tend to vote Republican, especially for President, and my views are usually aligned with Republicans.

But my experience has been, Democrats tend to field the more interesting candidates most of the time, even if very few of them get the nomination. Being registered Democrat gives me the chance to cast that vote that might put an Evan Bayh instead of a Hillary in the running.

(That being said - Senator Bayh's vote *against* Condi has me doubting the guy - she was SURE to be confirmed, and voting against her is just playing politics and trying to 'look good' - things I tend to detest).

:yeahthat: Glad you registered, now keep informed and vote! Way to go.

Which is the reason all strong Republicans should consider registering as Democrats. It lulls the national Democrat machine into believing their biases that the majority of voters support their stands (I know I lied when the exit poller asked who my wife, my son and I voted for in November) and it allows us to make sure the Democratic primaries always give us the 'best' candidate. :smirk:

I can definitely understand that...that is the reasoning of many across the nation (for registered Democrats, that is). Furthermore, many people, down here at least and in other southern states, registered Democratic initially because that was the only game in town. St. Mary's County, for example, was almost exclusively run by Democrats until the 1980s when the Republican Party made a resurgence. In many instances, there was hardly ever a general election campaign between a Republican and a Democrat (the winner was determined by the Democratic primary). As we can see, this is not the case anymore, but it was at one time.

As for Evan Byah, let me tell you something. He is one of the several candidates that I hope will run in 2008. I think that he offers true moderation on most issues and he has a way to connect to voters that have been pushed away from the Democratic Party. On the Rice vote, my instinct tells me that he voted against her in order to win with some liberal activists. He knew that her nomination was sailing through and he needs the liberal branch of the party to get off his back if he wants to go ANYWHERE for a presidential run (just ask Joe Lieberman). That is where I think his no vote from coming from.

So what you are saying is that he lacks integrity and was politically grandstanding?

I'm telling you that he wants to be president and that he's a politician.
