Are You a Reluctant Democrat?
That is, if the U.S. had a thriving multi-party democracy like most other industrializeed nations, would you still be a Democrat? Or would you vote Green, Libertarian, Socialist, or something?

Well?

4. We already have.................
the "Reformed Silly Party" here in central Florida. While looking through the voter registration statistics I discovered them. I believe that there are 30 or so members here in central Florida. This is a voting bloc that we would be ill advised to ignore in 2004. :silly:

11. I am more independent than Dem
The only reason I register as a Democrat is in NY where I am from originally, Independents can't vote in some things (like primaries).
I tend to vote Democrat more than anything, but I do thing we need a strong 3rd and 4th party.
