This is technically a waste of a diary, but then again, i'm not using my diaries for much. If some juicy anti-Matt Blunt piece comes out, I may regret using this space for something else.
Anyways, I have not ever been a Republican. I started early, including a vote for Clinton in a first grade mock election. I've never really had a good reason to vote for a Republican. My views don't match their views and I'm not impressed with their candidates.
But, I hold nothing against switchers. I'm sure that's the majority opinion here.
I'll go though the poll options in the extended entry
The no options are pretty self-explantory.
The Yes options may overlap, so you may want to vote for the option which you feel stronger about (as you could have left due to Reagan and the GOP's move to the right)
I'm sure this has the potential to launch some good stories.
So that's all
(and I was considering putting down options such as "I'm still a Republican" and "Yes, but I left after doing work to put Nader on the ballot")
