Yeah, different Republicans running, but the same voters voting, you know, the same uneducated, bigoted types who re-elected GW in 2004. Whether or not the new Republicans running will choose to perpetuate the Bush agenda during their campaign still remains to be seen, though. Either way, the next president is going to spend much of his term cleaning up the mess that GW has made, and we can only hope that they choose to clean it up, rather than make it worse.
You can only vote in the Republican primary if you register as a Republican (and possibly an Independent, but I can't remember if I had that option last time).
