When I vote tomorrow, should I vote for the candidate who does not have a chance to get the party nomination, or vote strategically?
From al.com:
"If I vote in one party's primary, does that mean I must support that party's candidates in the Nov. 2 general election? At the bottom of the Democratic ballot, there is a paragraph that says in part, 'I do pledge ... to aid and support all the Nominees thereof in the ensuing General Election.' However, that pledge is unenforceable. In the general election, where you have a secret ballot, you can vote for whomever you choose. "
I may want to vote for the candidate least likely to select Edwards as his/her running mate.

Always a tough question if you don't have a "This is the ONE!" candidate. Vote your conscience is always an option.

Do you know if you have to be registered with the party to vote in the primary in Alabama?

I voted this morning for the candidate I liked best.
No, you don't have to be registered with a party. There are a lot of swing voters myself included. You just have to be registered to vote and you can vote whatever party you want.

Ok, I thought that was the case but wasn't sure.

Well, I voted for Terry Oglesby.
