Of course, you're no Republican, either

Actually, I am, once again.
Nevada election law is different than Michigan, so it made sense to register GOP when I moved so I would be eligible to participate in the primaries.
I'll have to see who's on the ballot when the time comes.
A week or so ago I saw a thread that discussed a GOP primary challenger to Bush somewhere up in New England, but I don't know much about him yet. I voted for Alan Keyes in the primary the last time around. But I'm willing to consider 3rd parties, such as the Constitution Party. And I can always write-in my own choice: PJB or Keyes or Tom Monaghan or William R. Hawkins or Alan Tonelson or...

Well, I can easily come up with quite a few names that I can seriously cast my vote for as a write-in whether they're actually running or not.
I'd rather cast my vote for somebody that I respect than somebody where I'd have to hold my nose and pick the lesser of two evils. I just don't have the stomach for that anymore. Even if "my" write-in candidate loses, at least I can sleep with a clear conscience.

You're far more of an idealist than I am, Willie. I want my vote to affect the outcome.

Your approach has a lot going for it, also, and if it makes you sleep better I'm not going to criticize it as a personal choice.
