Get out and vote...Republican!

Hey guys, tomorrow is Super Tuesday, the day when 10 states including Massachusetts hold presidential primaries or caucuses.
While the Democratic primary is not very interesting, MA voters registered as "Unenrolled" (commonly called "Independent") can vote in either primary.

Liberal-leaning unenrolled voters like me could vote in the Republican primary in a number of interesting ways:

1. Vote for the candidate they think they could live with as president (Romney for me - he's a moderate pretending to be a conservative and probably wouldn't do anything too horrible)
2. Vote for the candidate it would be satisfying to see Obama smush (Santorum for me - he panders to the lowest common denominator on crutial future-determining issues like education; yuck!)
3. Vote for a candidate who has no shot but stands for something you believe in (Paul for me - the only candidate in either party who seems interested in defending basic freedoms)

If you're not sure if you're registered or what party you're registered with, you can check by calling your town clerk's office, list here:
