Just curious, are you wanting to vote for a particular Republican candidate because you want him to actually win the general election or do you want to vote for a guy who you think will be easier for a generic democrat to beat?

Well, I'm not sure. I really want a democrat to win the general election, and I really don't want certain Republican candidates to win the general election. On the other hand, there is one Republican that I honestly wouldn't mind having as president. I actually kinda like the guy. But I'm not sure if I can quite get myself to vote for him in the general. Either way I'd be one happy camper come general election time if both choices were GOOD ones.

Also, I'm a democrat in a heavily red state, so the only way I can actually vote and have it mean anything is in the Republican primary. amirite?

Arizona isn't that heavily red. It's likely going to stay red but not by much. It's been trending closer to Democrats since '92 and next year is going to be a heavily Democratic year (hopefully). So your general election vote for a D is likely to matter, but not as much as if you lived in, say, Colorado.

Yeah, you have to change your registration.
