Independents Rising... The Democrats Did Pretty Well Too

This article from the East Valley Tribune goes over the rising trend of independent registration in Arizona. Once you get beyond the spin by both parties, I think they are all right. There are more independents because there is dissatisfaction with both parties. There are also a lot of Republicans that cannot bring themselves to register as Democrats, but don't identify with their party any longer. Also, Arizona has a very high percentage of new residents. When people move here they lose many of the ties that might have led them to register with one party or the other. This trend is not new however...

I am glad to the see the Democrats outpacing the Republicans in registration.
