I guess I fall into this category as well. In the past 8 years I've gone from registered Independent - Democrat - to Independent again. The DNC's "my way or the highway" position on state autonomy and the questioning of platform planks; and the candidate's "well, those are the [DNC's] rules" wimping-out caused me to chuck party membership.
If being a "detractor" is to challenge the candidate and party to back the rhetoric with fact and substance, then that's me! I challenge the other candidates and parties as well;and when they try to snow-job me, they only cause me to challenge harder.
I'm more concerned with finding the truth than following a candidate like he's lead steer. To both candidates: Tell me the truth and you get my vote - BSing me just shows you have something to hide, and discounting my intellect by you or your party committee has its price as well.
