You could always do what I do, if I have to vote for a party candidate and I happen to like the other party's candidate. I simply vote for the "weakest" candidate in the party I happen to be registered for. That way, I feel I'm weakening the leader in the party I'm registered in, which should help, in some small way, the person I really like.
I also don't have a problem getting bumper stickers that say "Party Members for Joe", Where "Party Members" read ""Republicans" or "Democrats" and "Joe" reads the candidate I really like.
But, I agree, it would be nice to be able to vote for whoever you like in the primaries, without having to become an "Independent".
