Do we have any really "indelpendent" voters here at the DU?

[JayMusgrove]

If so, speak up!

We LOVE to have "independent" people here at the DU. so speak up!

Oh wait! I am on the DU forum, no "independent" need apply.............or am I wrong? I love independents who, like me, support Obama!

1. Hmm new around these parts?

[Jennicut]

2. I think independents are welcome as long as they support the Dems

I was an independent when I first registered at age 20. I became a Democrat in 2004. Bush pushed me into it and I have embraced the Dem party ever since. We are not perfect, but we are a heck of a lot better then the Rethugs.

3. Registered Independent here.

4. We don't have formal party registration in Illinois.

You are whatever you feel like on primary day.

5. If the candidate is right

I will quickly cross team lines. The problem is finding that candidate...

6. ??? Depends upon what's going on. Mobs of Independents hung out here during the Primaries

and somewhat fewer during the Campaign. Fewer now, because there's a lot less for them to do.

Your post count is low and apparently you haven't been just lurking and reading here very much either or you would have seen all of the Independent activity in the last 2 years. I remember the primaries of 2004 were WILD here then too.

Sometimes other events will set things off, like when Steve Irwin died, everyone was at everyone's else's throats, except me, of course. O8)

7. One here

Always vote for who I thing is best candidate, sometimes for the lessor of 2 evils so to speak,even so being registered independent I have always voted for Democratic candidate, always!

[FarLeftRage]

8. One here since 2002

I am your typical Leftist-Progressive... Kinda like Bernie Sanders.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

9. Registered Independent here as well!

[Why Syzygy]

10. aye

[Fire1]

11. This explains alot.

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. I'm an independent

I don't like political parties, and refuse to be part of one.

[liberalmuse]

13. I turned Independent for about 6 months in 2001...

after the Dems started caving to the Bush agenda. Then I realized I could not vote in the Dem primaries, so I changed back.

[Number23]

14. Right here!

I'm a happy Dem-leaning indie. :)

[snowbear]

15. WTF is an "indelpendent" ...? Cross between an Independent and an elephant?
