the voter's dilemma
voter: a bit left of center.
incumbent: republican. bit of a rightie. (and the thing is, even assuming the individual doesn't bug me, the party really does make me squirm.)
independent candidate 1: nuts.
independent candidate 2: utterly bonzo.
democrat: none.
... what's a girl to do?

The relative potential harm of Incumbent is ... arguable. Like I said, the trouble is the party as much as the candidate. I didn't mention it, but this is the Senate we're talking about -- so, yeah, very much an issue.
I selected "write-in" and left it blank. It'll be counted as "other," if anything. (If a real person were going to see it, I assume she'd think one of two things: either Oooh, Voter Makes a Statement, or Great ... got one up from Palm Beach. [g] But this was entirely computerized, so that little dialogue sequence only exists in my mind.) At the moment, that's enough for me. In this particular race, it's not like there's a chance the Republican's going to be voted out anyway. I mean, if it were possible to defeat him, the Democrats would have run someone, wouldn't they.
