In that election I actually liked/wanted McCain, and this was one of the highlights for me (looking back, rose-tinted I'm sure).
It showed that McCain was still an honest person (comparatively), and had integrity/ethics.
I liked McCain as well, until he picked Palin. On that day I changed my party affiliation from R to I because I knew there was no room under the big tent for a person like me.
Why do you need a party affiliation? Why not just vote as you see fit at the time of voting (i know I'm the weird one but i still don't understand this after 40 years)
The biggest reason for most people is for closed primaries, which vary from state to state. During a closed primary or caucus, only voters registered with that party can take part and vote.
Oh i see. I dont have that here. Thanks. But also that seems weirdly invasive
