sure, but I don't think you stand much of a chance unless its a small local election, so many voters now days are strict party voters, I call them morons.

Yes, primaries are to elect the party affiliate Republican or Democrat. Depending on the state election laws the losing candidate can run as a write-in. This is the case in Connecticut where current Democratic Senator Joe Lieberman lost the Democratic primary and filed paperwork today to run as an independant in the November election.
Good Luck

Usually, yes. The primary is just to determine the leading candidate for a specific party, and doesn't really affect who can run independently in the general election.

Yes you can just glance at the recent on in Conn. where the incumbent is going independent.

I would check with the local County clerk's office, because I think this would differ from state to state (and also from country to country).
