Many NC Republicans beleive that Unaffiliated voters in the primary push the nomination to the left, not the right because it allows the Democrats to play in GOP primaries by temporarily switching to Unaffiliated, and there is anecdotal evidence that this goes on to some degree. When John McCain,a moderate, won the GOP presidential nomination in 2008, his victories in New Hampshire and South Carolina were what put him in the pole position. Both of those states are open primaries, and exit polls showed that if only Republicans had been voting in the primary, McCain would have lost both states and probably not been the nominee.

The complicating factor is that looking at voting behavior, about two thirds of Unaffiliated voters here in Beaufort County, and probably almost that many statewide, vote straight ticket Republican in the general election. Many of them are conservatives who are put out with the establishment wing of the party, but there are other electments there, too. I was on the state GOP executive committee when we voted to open our primary to Unaffiliated voters. The theory was that if we did, they would get used to voting Republican and would re-registerer as Republicans, but that has not been happening. There are two other blocks of Unaffiliated voters, those who usually vote straight ticket Democrat in the general election, which is the smallest group of Unaffiliateds by voting behavior, and those who cast split tickets. If there was a way we could exclude the latter two groups and allow those who typically vote straight Republican in the general election to vote in our primary, that would be ideal, but as a practical matter there is no way to do that.

I have NEVER been registered with party in the almost 50 years I have been voting. The way the parties are now a days I feel even stronger about not being associated with either party. If NC republicans decides to block unaffiliated from voting in their primaries, I will vote in the democrat primary if that is the only choice I have, but I will vote.
It would be interesting to see how the vote turns out and if true strong conservatives get past the primaries without the unaffiliated votes.
