I'm a DEMOCRAT!

Because DC is a Democrat's city. If I registered as Republican or Green, then I'd have no say in Democratic primaries here.
Registering as a Democrat allows me to vote for the most qualified Democratic candidate in the primaries, and if I chose, vote with my conscience in general elections.
If I lived in a state that was more or less equally Dem or Repub., then I would vote Democrat, such as in Presidential elections. But since DC's electoral votes will ALWAYS go Democrat, I felt like I could vote for Ralph Nader and still feel good about myself if the Dems lost.
