Reply #311: We disagree. Registered Dems outnumber registered indies -- and some

[No Elephants]

registered Indies ARE committed lefties. For example, I was registered Indy (really, unaffiliated), all my life until 2004, yet I never once in my life voted Republican.


Most voters in Massachusetts, however, ARE registered Indies, yet most of them are obviously dyed in the wool Dems. Coakley lost to Brown bc Boston, the most liberal part of the state stayed home, while his base was energized.

Registered Dems also outnumber Republicans. So, if you can get registered Dems to vote for you, you're in good shape.

But, you've now slid in the word "committed," which was not in your original post. I confess I don't have much patience with thst kind of thing. Still, I'll stsnd by what I said.
