The only people remaining in the democrat party will be people with your veracity level.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. (UPI) – Al Gore's refusal to concede to President-elect
Bush is causing a flood of Democrats to switch to the Republican Party.
The Duval County Supervisor of Elections office has been busy since
Election Day signing up new voters and helping registrants change parties,
WJXT-TV of Jacksonville reported Friday. Clerks said they have never seen
anything like it after any other presidential election.

Many people are registering to vote for the first time. Many have said they
did not realize before this election that their vote could really count.

Assistant Supervisor of Elections Dick Carlsberg said he talked to the clerks
in the office and they told him, "There's been a definite surge in party
affiliation changes, and it's been from Democrat to Republican."

He said nothing like this had happened after the presidential elections in
1996 and 1992.

One disgruntled former Democrat is John Carswell, who switched recently
after 34 years in the party since he first registered to vote. He said he did it
because he didn't like the way the Democratic Party had reacted to the
presidential election results.
