| Larry, (...) Why? Sometimes, it just seems so pointless, futile, and just makes me upset. I prefer talking about LEGO rather than politics sometimes. It calms the nerves when there aren't so many debates for me, at least. Scott S. (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| (...) In California, you remain a member of your party until you re-register. I don't know if it varies from state to state, it probably can, but I don't know if it actually does. California is a winner-take-all state: you win by one vote, you get (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

I've never registered under a party, btw--is that registration permanent (unless voluntarily changed), or does it have to be reinstated each election term? Or does that vary from state to state?

Anyone who wants to have their vote for McCain (or Bush) actually mean something had better register as a Republican. Bruce (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

| (...) If I remember correctly, the California primaries are simultaneous -- every candidate for every party is run on the same ballot.

| Larry, (...) No, I think what Bill is saying is that there are many nuts, on both sides, through a variety of causes, and the like. But there is a significant bias towards the right wing religious groups, some justified, most not. You do not see the (...) (25 years ago, 24-Feb-00, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
