I think that's my biggest problem about our partisan system - many folks won't even look at the issues and how the candidates plan to address them. Instead, folks look at the (D) or (R) after their name and just blindly pick.

For me, it goes way deeper than what their party is. Until democrats cease to support the ACLU, make a stand against illegal immigration, vote against increasing welfare and minority set asides, I will be forced to vote Republican or Independant. Even if I like Bradley's ideas, his root platform still involves these positions which I strongly disagree with. These values are most important to me personally. Others have different values.
