If it wouldn't matter, then why is there a switch every election? It does matter. A lot of people were voted out last cycle and a lot of people will be voted out the next cycle. The possibility of a "debt default" during the election makes the likelihood of even more people getting voted out.
People may stick with their party lines, but they do vote for different people during primaries and they do go out to vote or stay home based on who is running, why they are running, and what has been going on recently.
With that said. Have you ever voted for someone outside of your "favored" political party?
