What if large numbers of R registered voters start re-registering as independents in the coming month or two.

Will the registrar stats be public knowledge and could they impact the thought process at the convention in late August?

We can hope or make this a reality.

I’m always getting snail-mail “questionnaires” from the RINO party asking for donations.

I let the answers to the “questions” blank with a note that I am no longer a RINO party member.

If they get enough of those then hopefully they’ll wake up.

At this point it doesn't matter how many are registered as Republicans. It is about money to the candidates. If one drops their registration as a Republican the only stats--here on out until the election--will be which candidates the independents are oriented towards.

Thus you are just seen here on out as an Independent as the only influence the media cares about is money and polls on votes and which category demographically and party wise. I think where these numbers are most apparent is in the Republican primaries. You see a percentage voting for Romney and you see the percentage that did not. Unfortunately the even smaller percentage going forward of those that did not vote for Romney aren't in a high enough percentage to influence anything newsworthy.

Won’t do any good to re-register. Still only have to dopes to choose from.

What if large numbers of R registered voters start re-registering as independents in the coming month or two.

Then they will be getting three times as much political junk mail, as both parties will be lambasting independents for their votes.
