I will do the same. Thanks for the suggestion. I was wondering how I could vote for any of the other candidates and I would not like to abstain from voting.
My pleasure.
I started using the write-in candidate method in the NY State Senate Races in my district because the Republican State Senator, Dean Skelos ( who was the Majority Leader of the State Senate ) made it possible for the ' Same-Sex Marriage' vote to come to the floor. After voting for Skelos the previous 15 times he was on the ballot, I decided never to vote for him again. As it turned out, Skelos lost his seat automatically because of a court conviction. There's a special election for the seat on the date of the NY State Republican Primary next month.
Basically, my thought process is like what you expressed in that I want to vote but won't vote for someone unacceptable. In the case of writing in Ted Cruz, it has the added benefit of increasing Cruz's chances in future elections. Not to mention his clout in the U.S. Senate.
