I don't know the election laws of Oregon, but many states allow those who register as Independents to pick which party they want to vote for during a primary without having to be a member of the two big parties. If you pick an actual third party in these states, you are typically stuck voting a non-partisan ballot that does not include major offices.
In Maryland, Independents cannot vote in primaries. Only registered Democrats & Republicans.
It really depends on the match-up for me, but I will not vote for John McCain for President. I also don't think McCain will get the nomination.
As for the others, there are possibilities. I think Obama is green and a super longshot, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't vote for him. If Hillary ran against McCain, I would likely vote 3rd party, but you never know. Giuliani has said some things that pleased me while remaining either critical of the status quo or pretty low on the political soundbite totem pole.
Hell, I would take 5 of Kucinich's 13 campaign points with no argument and a few more with some clarification.
