Poll question: What to do if you live in a Republican district where there will be a Tea Party challenger

Edited on Sun Mar-28-10 06:12 PM by OmahaBlueDog
Background: Omaha is in NE-2. We voted for Obama, but generally lean Republican. Our representative is Lee Terry, who is a Republican. While Terry has been pretty much a supporter of the GOP party-line, he has (apparantly) bucked it enough to be getting a Tea Party challenge. Matt Sakalosky (who shortens his name to "Matt Sak" for campaign marketing purposes) is going after Lee Terry for supporting the TARK and supporting cash-for-clunkers.

Some choose to become a "Republican for a day" to vote in their primary if there is no Democrat, or (as is the case here) the Democratic candidate is a foregone conclusion (State Senator Tom White will run against the Republican primary winner). I've never done this, but I'd be willing to consider it if our cause is aided.

What to do? The primary (IIRC) is May 10.
