21. But if you jump party you are no longer a Dem.
I don't get that idea that it is better to go Green or GOP than to work your full ticket. I understand Independent as a concept, but in my mind that makes you not a Dem or a Republican.

I have had races where I was on the losing side of a primary. It sucks, but the deal is, that IF you want to be considered a member of a party your support is there for the full ticket in the General.

I like Kucinich and I will work Hil if she is the nominee. FWIW, the last two Dem Presidential nominees were not the ones I worked in the Primary--but I still worked the full ticket. I have known more than a couple of people who can't say that same thing and I do not consider them to be Democrats. I see them as Independents.
