Why don't voters from both parties express anger at some conservative groups tactics regarding Nader? How is this different than rigging an election? If this is O.K. what's to stop me from changing party affiliation to vote in primaries than switch back for the election itself? You can do it here in Florida. In fact we have a local election for sheriff that has voters switching parties due to one 11th hour candidates attempt to block voters.
The Nader/GOP link is not rumor but is it moral? Can't Bush win on his own merit?

why switch back? The primaries are the only election where party affiliation counts.

I don't know how other states handle it but here in Florida they had to change the rules a few years back.
It used to be that the Panhandle of Florida was fiercely Democrat and the South was predominately Republican. Since candidates in these areas would run under one party the election was decided in the primaries. That meant the opposing party never got to vote.
Florida law was changed so when no opposing party member entered the race the primary was opened to the public.
Made sense to me. Now though we see it being manipulated to exclude voters from some contests.
Ciber you make a good point. I've never done the party switch. I'm actually a registered Republican. I knew when I registered that if I choose another party or the preferred Independent I'd never get to vote.

The Michigan Republican Campaign , solicited enough signature to have Nader eligible !!!! It also appears that Nader is accepting quite a bit of money from the Grand Ole' Party.
