So if I'm willing to switch allegiances I can attend a Republican caucus (which I imagine will be a complete sh!t show).

But then I'd be evil.

It's party specific.

I'm not expecting much action over at the Dems.

Then you can vote against the worst guy twice, once in the caucus and again in the general -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 1, 16:07
Think of all the great mailing lists you'll end up on! -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 16:07 3
- Worse, *calling* lists -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 1, 16:08 2
  - I've received at least a whole tree's worth of Bernie mailings in the last few weeks. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 1, 16:09 1
    - Mail I can dump, the recycling can is on the way back, it's fun king robocalls I *hate* -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 1, 16:15
Then *start* something! -- nm - prayformojo Feb 1, 16:05
Could you still caucus for (say) Lindsay Graham? -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 16:03 14
- The caucus process is different for republicans and democrats. For republicans it's just a written secret ballot vote, so I think you could write in - pmb Feb 1, 16:06 9
  - I didn't realize this. But don't you still need 40% or something to win? What does GOP do when no one gets that? - ty97 Feb 1, 16:12 3
    - I think (and I could be wrong here), that the republican "winner" is just the highest vote count. I don't think there are minimums. It's pretty much - pmb Feb 1, 16:16 1
      - The all or nothing states don't start until mid-March. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 16:19
    - It's like electing the Pope. They even have the white smoke! -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 16:15
  - Didn't realize that... and I live here! IN that case I'll stay un-evil. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 1, 16:10
  - So the GOP is scared to take personal responsibility for their vote? Sounds about right. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 16:08 3
    - Meh - secret ballot makes it harder to shame the unbelievers. -- nm - Roger More Feb 1, 16:13 2
      - Which sounds almost antithetical to how the GOP operates. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 16:16 1
        
        You don't have to take every opportunity to stick the knife in -- nm - Roger More Feb 1, 16:23
- Sure CT go ahead, throw your vote away -- nm - mr plow Feb 1, 16:04
- Be the Gilmore Guy. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 16:04 2
  - Lorelai is polling better than Jim. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 1, 16:05 1
    - "I vote for Rory Gilmore... oh, I mean Jim Gilmore." -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 16:09
