Actually, I haven't decided yet, but I'm seriously considering it. Georgia has open primaries. I think there are also 10 other states that do. We have a big movement right now in Georgia among Republicans to vote for Bernie in hopes that he'll get the nomination. IP: Logged |

I thought that folks could only vote for their own registered party. Did you unregister yourself as a republican, Randall, in order to vote on the democratic side? IP: Logged |

I don't think so. You have to choose one. At least in Ohio. I'm ****** that people are doing this. It feels like a form of cheating. IP: Logged |

Randall, I believe your slaughter comment needs to be revisited. You're coming at it from the boomer mind set. The young'uns today are interested and ready to vote. Since gen x and millenials outnumber the boomers, they have a strong voice in this election. From my observation, socialism is their interest. ------------------ Partial truth~the seeds of wisdom~can be found in many places...The seeds of wisdom are contained in all scriptures ever written… especially in art, music, and poetry and, above all, in Nature.

It's not cheating if it's the law. Here's the logic behind the strategy. I think only 20 percent of Bernie supporters will actually vote. Those states that decided to award their electoral college to the popular vote will have to give them to President Trump. It's quite brilliant. IP: Logged |

Also, Bernie will not help any of the Dem elections. In fact, he will hurt them. IP: Logged |
