"So does the candidate line up ever prompt you to vote in different primaries?"

Oh!

(Well, that's a different question.)

I suppose I SURE WOULD --- if the State I lived in at the time made it legal --- AND there was someone I really, really wanted to see advance in some other political Party's primary.

(Members of the Conservative Party of New York State must feel this way a lot....)

But, you see, I have voted my entire life, since I first became of legal age, but --- in no place that I've ever lived --- have I ever been registered as a Democrat or a Republican.

ALWAYS either an Independent or a Libertarian (been a believer in the principles enunciated by Libertarians - the only truly uniquely AMERICAN political philosophy to emerge in the entire past Century - ever since Ann Rand and Bill Buckley, and ever since I came to widely read the writings of our Founding Fathers about Liberty). But, in several States I've lived in, at various times, the Libertarians were kept squeezed off of the ballots by the 'Republi-crat' duopoly over the political process.
