I look at it like this. There will always be a small percentage that will vote for a write-in, or a candidate that is unpopular. I believe that percentage is usually under 4%, maybe only 1%(but I'm no expert). The problem with that is, that vote is usually taken away from the "lesser of two evils" candidate. So I view it as a vote for the bad guy. So, although I understand your frustration with the party not providing a quality candidate, it's like shooting yourself in the foot because you didn't like your shoe. And though the percentage of "throw away voters" is small, in a close race that may be the deciding factor. So you may have to deal with the "pain in your foot" for another four years. I've learned that we can't change politicians, but we can vote the CLOWNS out! And Rich, while we're on the subject, who did you vote for in the sheriff's race?
