While listening to various radio talk shows, we noted that several callers called to find out if they could register as a member one political party during the Alaska Caucus and then change back to their previous party immediately after the voting takes place.
Obviously this type of mischief is geared towards throwing an election. For instance, if numerous Democrats changed their registration to the Republican party during the primary voting, they could insure that a conservative candidate was knocked out of the running by either splitting the votes or by momentarily supporting a liberal or Libertarian candidate. McCain may have done something close to this during today's primary in West Virginia. Thus Huckabee won, while he has no chance of a national endorsement. Basically a McCain win. Which may turn itself into a Democrat win.
Odd how serious decisions are often made by people with the morals of used car salesmen.
Unfortunately we may get worse in our final choice of candidates.
