Q. for other registered Repubs
Have you suddenly started receiving loads of John McCain mail? I'm in a swing state (PA), so I understand why I'm getting in, but I'm a bit surprised that it's only now just starting. Has anyone else been receiving it for a while?
Re: Q. for other registered Repubs
Not hard mail, no, but I get emails from Orrin Hatch all the time.
Actually, I get emails from McCain, FredPAC, RNC, DNC, and moveon.org. It's kind of funny to see what they're saying on either side. Getting dizzy from all the spin!

I get about 2-3 emails a day from OBC, and mailings about twice a week, and we're in CA....so not a swing state.
I have a related question: what qualifies as a "registered" Democrat or Republican?
Here's the deal: Wisconsin has election-day registration, so you don't have to register as a Republican or Democrat before the primary. I showed up on primary day to register, but I don't recall checking any R or D box on the form. Then you are given a ballot with all candidates on it, and it's divided into R and D. You can vote in either the R or D primary. If you vote for both an R and a D, your ballot will not be counted. So I voted in the D primary. Does this make me a "registered" Democrat? I don't believe the state or local Democratic Party office has any information on me. I realize this sounds stupid, but I find the concept of being a registered R or D a bit confusing.
Not a stupid question bridey!
I don't remember ever registering as anything. Maybe I did when I turned 18 and registered for the first time. Maybe. In MI we have open primaries like you do in WI and also can only vote straight ticket (one party). I believe they keep track of which party you vote for but I have no clue if that makes you "registered." I just answer these posts b/c I typically vote republican, but I don't know what the term means for people in open primary states.
I didn't register for a party in Indiana, where the primaries are open. I imagine most open-primary states are the same way, if not all of them.
On the other hand, in NY the primaries are not open, so I registered as a republican for the first time this past year.
For polling purposes in a state like that we would consider you a "registered" democrat. ?Most states do record which primary you voted in, and that information would be available to the campaigns. ?I haven't done work in Wisconsin specifically, but VA is similar and that's how it works here.?

I'm a registered Democrat, and I am getting more McCain mailers than my Republican husband. It's annoying. LOL
OBC doesn't send me anything except emails.
