To your one point about reasons for Republicans leaving... I would not


expect a large number of people to make the effort to change their party affiliation no matter how disgusted they were with it. I was a registered republican in the 90s. I got disgusted with them in the early 2000s with the hypocrisy around the deficit and the rise of the religious zealot wing of the party. I did not make any effort to change my affiliation but I voted against GWB the second time and against most Republicans as a way of sending a message. I moved to a different state and registered non affiliated in 2007. I suspect a lot of people would do the same thing and not change party affiliation until there is a no effort way to do so. Perhaps a move, perhaps a drivers license renewal, if that question comes up then.

It would be very interesting to see data on people that are reregistering in different locales, and what the GOP vs Dem retention rate is.
