The last election should have been a 'lay up' for the Democrats given Bush's record. Either Clinton and Obama will be better than a continuation of the Republican Party's leadership in The White House. I fear that if the in-fighting doesn't stop, John McClain will become President.
I am soooo tired of the Democratic Party now (after being active in it for literally half of my life), that after I vote in my state's primary - I'm becoming Independent.

Being a registerd anything doesn't automatically tie you to the party line even when you go to the voting booth. I have been a registered independent since I first registered to vote on my 18th birthday over 20 years ago. I USUALLY vote Democrat but I have voted for an Independent party or Republican on occasion. Being an Independent has its pros - no 'guarantee' of my vote and no party crap - and its cons - not being able to vote in a closed state primary.
Besides, how do you know that the people sending the information are actually registerd Democrats? The only way you would know for sure is to look at their voter registration card! Heck some very venomous things about the candidates could be coming from the other party or even a so-called third party or other special interest...
