Independents don't have a say, in who is the parties candidate.
Texas, like other states have a party affiliation in the primaries.
Only registered Democrats can vote for a Democrat in the primaries.
Only a registered Republican can vote for Ron Paul to make it out of the primaries.
If you don't make the commitment, we are going to get two of the same `ol globalist Progressives to choose from again and we will be at each others throats again.
Register Republican and make a difference this time!!

We already have more than enough commitments from registered republicans and the delegates to win my district, and I'm all ready for it myself. My neighboring districts have the votes as well.

Not true in my state. When we register to vote, we don't declare a political party. Registered voters in my state can vote in any primary they want to vote in as long as it is just one. I hate it. Since Obama will be running unopposed, I expect all of the registered Democrats in the state to vote for the GOP candidate they think Obama can beat. I don't know how many other states are like mine. It makes me sick.
The only thing that may prevent some of it from happening is if their Democrat Representative or Senator has a Democrat opponent running for those offices in 2012.

Ron Paul - 2012
I guess I will have to plug my nose and reg as a republican. Blah.

That's my experience in Texas as well. There's is no party affiliation unless one wants to join that party. But voter registration does NOT record that information and a voter can vote in any primary he/she chooses. Well, Republican or Democrat... Libertarians hold a convention for nomination of candidates for all elected positions, local/state/federal.
However, when voting in that primary, the registrant should stamp the registration card that the voter has voted in the Democrat - or - Republican primary. Thus, if a run off ensues, the voter can vote only in the same party as the initial primary vote. I have seen that registrant fail to stamp that registration card. If the voter did not vote in the initial primary then he/she can vote in either party run off.
I've often voted in one party's primary, only to vote for the candidate of the opposition party in the general election.
I have NEVER registered ANY party affiliation. I have contributed to an election campaign ONLY ONCE, and that was for a Libertarian.
