I don't have a problem with it because people should be voting strictly on his political views, not the R- or D- at the end of his name.

I do have a problem with is that I'm sure his political philosophy hasn't changed yet now more Dems will vote for him and fewer Repubs - just because of party affiliation.

Just one more reason I don't think the politically uneducated should be allowed to vote.
