Many folks have informed me that they’ve ALREADY switched their party affiliation to Democrat, but I’m simply asking that you wait to do it on April 1st to make a little bit of a blip. It serves a dual purpose. First it makes a bit of a point for sport and then, after that, of course, allows our votes to count for something. Do Gordon Smith and John McCain really need our votes in the primary? (5th CD voters you stay with R affiliation). No. So why not make your vote count, extend the the primary season (on to Puerto Rico!) and allow the D’s to further vet their candidates.
An alert 5th Listener says that he went to Victoria’s page at KPAM.COM and got two copies of his voter registration (go here for yours) so that he could change his party affiliation right back after the May 20th Oregon Primary.Good thinking.
I was looking on a search engine this morning for links to the new, national AP story coming out today on this effort (and apparently mentioning me) and when I plugged in my search terms you’ll never guess what Google spit out. See here for a laugh.
