As active members of the voting electorate here in Miami, my wife and I receive mail from both major parties - even though we're registered in the same party. What is interesting to see is the dichotomy between party candidates' advertising material.
The Democratic party candidates - the party to which my wife and I are both registered - have no problem telling you that they are Democrats. It is clearly labeled on the campaign material. The Republican party candidates - we still receive mail from them - has seen an interesting trend. Within the last two weeks, gone is all indication of party or affiliation with President Bush. I combed through recent material received from Illeana Ros-Lehtinen, and found that nowhere on the material was it to be seen that she is (a very prominent) Republican.
I guess my real question here is this: why drop the affiliation now? Why try to distance one's self from the party that has embraced you and given you your dais upon which you can stand to voice your opinion?
I invite your opinion…
