How many people vote in the primaries?

As opposed to how many vote in the regular election?

What is it? Something like 10%, of all those who will vote in the regular, voted in the primaries?

Seems kind of odd to say that a majority of the dems voted for Kerry when that's not true, because a majority of the dems won't really have their say until the regular election.

Oh well Kerry is our idiot now and we're stuck with him. Personally I'll do everything I can to get him elected as long as I don't have to lie. Then after he is elected I will bug the sheeet out of him to change some of his views like gay marriage and such.

Although I have no problem with anyone questioning Kerry's positions now. To supress this type of behavior is just as bad an idea as Bush's idea that questioning your leaders in a time of war is unpatriotic.

Sigh, and I know that some of the vultures who are out there waiting to descend on post like this and force people to become sheeple by ridicule may attack what I say, but the truth of the matter is Kerry will be elected despite what the vultures will try to sell you and if Kerry loses at all it will be BECAUSE of the vultures, not because of those who question,

3. I wish that I voted my conscience!
In the primaries, I usually vote for the person who has both a shot and some sort of ethics.
