Never voted a straight ticket in my life that I can recall and have been registered (or declared)
for both parties at one time or another.
The breakdown is that the city is run by the Dems, the county by the Repubs and the state
is strongly Repub but there are plenty of races that can go either way (as far as State Reps)
In the primaries you declare at the polls which ballot you want - so I have to decide
based on which races I am most interested in.
Funny story - I have a friend that serves on the county council and she is up for reelection
and is a Repub like most of the county government. She always asks to put a sign in my yard
because I am on a main road with lots of exposure - I always let her because I do support her.
She called a few week ago to see if she could put a sign in my yard and I told her that I didn't care,
as long as she didn't mind my Obama sign (I didn't really have one - just was kidding her)
She said that she didn't have a problem with it.
