Would it be too late for the 2010 elections to change my party affiliation?
I live in NJ, a registered Dem, considering going Unaffiliated/Independent. Any advantages to doing so?

This sort of thing is strictly by state.
For NJ,
"A registered voter currently affiliated with a political party who wishes to change their party affiliation must file a Political Party Affiliation Declaration Form 50 days before a Primary Election. "
Wikipedia says "New Jersey is a semi-closed primary state; voters affiliated with a party may only vote in their party's primary, but undeclared members may vote in any available party primary, after which their registration is changed to the party of the primary they participated in." but I can't confirm that.
If true, it would be best to be an "undeclared" voter and then after you vote in a primary, change it back to "undeclared" afterward. That way you vote in the one which interests you at the moment.
