Couldn't i just register as a Republican and then vote Democrat anyway?

Not in the primaries. Only registered voters can vote in their party's primary.
and, Spork, I'd say that Americans are more independent within the party system than are their peers in Europe...the party designation applies mainly to voting in the primaries, and nothing more.
However, I believe that a few years ago (40-50), people were more likely to vote a straight party ticket than they are today. Every year, we have more registered independents (no party affiiation) in the states.
Plus, I'm a BLUE DOG Democrat...very different from a Northeastern liberal Democrat.
