4. This is why we hold open primaries

If it were a closed primary then switching parties for no reason other than to vote in the primary would be immoral.

I'm going to vote for Frothy. I've been looking forward to registering a protest vote ever since "Operation Chaos" in 2008.

I am curious if the polls we have all been seeing include (D)s and (I)s who are not likely to vote in a (R) primary but who will this time around. These polls may all be off, maybe even way way off.

Gonna be an interesting week.
