Usually, in BOTH parties, if the person nominated is not the candidate the voter wants, he or she weighs the pros and cons of other candidates and casts their votes accordingly.
However, some people will cast their vote along party lines because they feel one or the other party is more inline with their thinking.

I participated in the 2004 election for John Edwards. Depending on what level you volunteer for, the night of the elections (caucus), a phone call is made usually to the precinct captain, from one of the field organizers. They tell you that your candidate will most likely not have enough votes, so you are going to try and get so many people who attend your caucus to vote for another candidate.
Many people won't vote for the other candidate, or they can decide whose camp they want to go to instead. (if they don't like the candidate offered).
Caucasing is a strange thing that occurs, and all of the campaigns follow or are supposed to follow the same rules.
Some of the candidates' websites have a "Caucasing Made Easy" video, which shows you how it works.
One that I've seen is on Obama's website. If you're interested in seeing how it works, go to www.obama2008.com to view the video.

They will vote for Ron Paul, because he is the only major candidate who opposes the war. The unions who usually vote Dem are also going to support Ron Paul because he will put an end to unfair trade policies

Some will vote party line of course. As for myself, if Hillary is nominated, it's going to depend on who the Republican nominate. I don't like Hillary at all.

First election, huh?
Typically, people move their support to the nominee of their party, even though they might not like them quite as much.
