Seems bazaar that a non party member can vote for a candidate - In those states can you vote in both the Rep and Dem primary? If not who controls this? Peter

In Alabama, I can vote for anyone I want in the election primary. In other some states you must register to a party when you register & then you can only vote in that party's primary. But you can still vote for whomever you want in the general election. In no case do you actually have to be a party member. When I actually go to the polls tomorrow, I'll be asked if I need a Democrat or Republican ballot. In case anyone's wondering, I will draw a Republican ballot. I'm no happier with the current president than most of my friends but our current foreign policy failures are no excuse to vote a Socialist with a GOD complex into office (sorry, couldn't resist).
