Who votes in Primaries?

Obviously DUers do, but who else? Many Democrats I know sit them out because they are for "radicals, hippies, and the establishment, not for ordinary Democrats". That makes no sense to me, but the get out the vote campaigns should encourage voting in primaries too. Plus, in many states like PA, you have to be registered Democrat to vote in the primary.

your thoughts:

2. I guess a lot of people

Are content to let the rest of us pick the candidate, then they'll get behind that candidate for the general election.

3. Not many.

Most people just point to the last 30 years and say 'what the hell difference would it make?' and look at me like I'm nuts.

Luckily THIS year I can answer them and tell them about Kucinich.

And believe it or not -- this time around -- they're not looking at me like I'm nuts. Now they're asking me what they need to do to be able to vote in primaries!
