How many of you are registered as Republicans?

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

IMO, this is the big question and biggest stumbling block to Ron Paul winning the nomination.

There are so many Libertarians, Independents (Lou Dobbs has been converting them like crazy), Democrats, and disillusioned non-voters who want Ron to win. I admit that I'm registered as a Libertarian, and I need to get re-registered so I can vote for Ron in the primaries. I'm going to make an effort next week to get it done.

I'm curious how many of the board members are ready right now? Discussion about getting people who like Ron, but are procrastinating, plain lazy (lol!), or who hate the GOP too much to re-register is encouraged too.

[DeadheadForPaul]

Im registered independent but open primary in my state

I always ask for the Republican primary ballot though

[jaumen]

[saku39]

I registered and registered republican specifically to vote in the primary for Paul about a week ago.

I've always been a registered Republican, but live in an open primary state (GA).

[DianeDL]

Live in Oregon
was indi
I registered as Rep last May....Made me a little squeeeeeemish to join the GOP to be honest but this is worth it!

[hopeforamerica]

Me, republican just to vote for our man.

[unklejman]

My state has no party declaration. That said I DO need to register in this state. I'll be sure to do so this weekend.

[gagnonstudio]

I was registered Dem, but re-registered as a repub last month to vote for RP. I will quickly change to independent after the primary. I have a new found belief that being part of a political party is stupid, if everyone registered independent the country would be a lot better off. No more party politics.

[Taco John]

I'm registered independent in the open primary state of WA.

There would be riots in the streets here if they closed the primaries. Washington State is Ron Paul Country.

[speciallyblend]

Me and my wife registered republican,but only for Ron Paul.

[DianeDL]

I haven't registered, yet. :p

you can register online now....just print off the state form and sign and mail it in...easy

[DianeDL]

I have to agree

[RP08]

I originally registered Republican when I was of age. Over the years, I changed my affiliation to undisclosed. I've just recently changed my registration back to Republican to vote RP in the Primaries.

I switched from Independent (swallowing the bile as I did so) months ago and will switch back IMMEDIATELY following the primary.

[Sematary]

should have added a poll

[Lord Xar]

yes, in cali.

[Primbs]

republican in Virginia.

[granny miller]

Been one for well over 35 years:)

[hells_unicorn]

I left the Republican party in 2001, then came back from the Libertarian Party 2 weeks after Ron Paul declared his candidacy. I plan to switch back after the primary so I can contemplate a potential run for local office.

[RP4ME]

not registered b/c in my state it is unecessary to register to vote in either primary...we also dont have primaries for the Ppesidential rce, but Conventions

You have to be a registered voter though, don't you?

[Bobby Johnson]

I am registered Republican. Living in East Central Indiana.

Libertarian, not going to change. Open primary in Texas.

[Wilkero]

I'm not registered as any party. Wisconsin has completely open primaries, but you can only vote for one party when you vote in the primary.

[stevedasbach]

Virginia doesn't have partisan registration. Primaries are open.

FYI: Last time I checked, 28 states register by party. Some of those have open primaries, some allow independents to vote (like New Hampshire), some are completely closed.

[FreedomProsperityPeace]

I like reading these individual answers, rather than numbers in a poll.

It's reassuring to see pre-existing Republicans supporting Ron. I've seen quite a bit of hostility from some GOP members.

[Adam Smith]

I'm a registered Republican. 15 years. I live in a state with an open primary (GA) so it doesn't matter.

[Severius]

I am, I switched from Libertarian about two months ago.

[kpfareal]

In North Dakota (where I currently live, thanks to the Air Force), I don't have to register at all. Even to vote in the general election...

[brumans]

I'm not affiliated with any party and I don't need to be because Michigan is an open primary.

[Nefertiti]

In Illinois you do not register with a particular party, you only register to vote. Technically you are supposed to vote in the primary as the same party you did the last time around but since it is up to you to ask for a particular ballot apparently they don't actually really enforce this rule. I've never voted in a primary here so I don't know how it works exactly. I've only been registered in Illinois for 2 years and the one primary we have had since I was here I think I was out of the country at the time so I didn't vote. This time I may be out of the country again but I certainly will be voting absentee in advance. Previously I was registered in California where you have to be registered with a particular party to be able to vote in their primary. Since I was always registered as "decline to state" I was never allowed to vote in a primary there either.

[hvac ak47]

yes, Maryland

[dsentell]

Registered as a Dem, have always be so registered, even though I vote Republican most of the time. In my state (Missouri) does not matter much due to open primaries.

"If you are not a Democrat when you are young,
You have no heart.
If you are not a Republican when you are old,
You have no brain."

(Sorry, can't remember who said that .....)

[Richie]

My birthday is a few months short of the Maryland primary, so I won't be able to vote in it. I can vote in the general, though.

[Mandrik]

Live in PA. Was Dem until I went unaffiliated in 2004. As of this past Saturday I am a registered Republican.

[Syren123]

I've been embarrassed to be a Republican since 1988 but yes. Registered Repub when I turned 18.

I don't know how much longer I can take it, tho.

[lynnf]

registered Republican in Texas, an open primary state


lynn

[Natalie]

Registered Libertarian in TX

[AZJV]

Just got my new republican voter card for Arizona. Switched from independant just for this primary. I don't think I'll stay republican after election. Probably register libertarian then.

[reaver]

As long as I don't have to register every year then I am good. I registered Republican to vote in 04' and I havn't moved. But I will move before the primaries and after the deadline so I'm not sure whether I'm still good or not.

[traviskicks]

I've always been a registered Republican, was a poll watcher for Bush in NC in 2004, bit I'm now in NV. Used to be a huge liberal in college (indoctrination of public skrewls im sure), but never registered. :)
