Inturn what happens is the Christian right has some of the most motivated groups so you end up with a cannidate on the far right (how do you think we got BUSH)

Then for the democrates you have the same thing and the far left liberals have the most activist voting block so you end up with a cannidate on the far left ( ie. Kerry and Gore )

So in the end we have cannidates that are on the extream end of either party. So in turn nothing in our goverment gets done!!!! because there is no middle ground!

HWether or not you have to be registered with a particular party to vote in their primary is regulated by state law, so there is no blanket answer on this one. My state (MI) is set up so that you can only vote in one party's primary, but you can make that decision when you cast your vote.
