I have never understood the reasoning behind sitting out an election in protest. It gains nothing, except handing the job to the opposition. A RINO is better than any Dem IMO. Then, the answer is to work really hard for a real viable candidate next time around.
"Reasoning" has nothing to do with it. A conservative group in Cincinnati ("COAST")has teamed up with a Left Coast group to run ads asking voters NOT TO GO TO THE POLLS tomorrow in the 2nd Congressional District race! What, do they think if nobody shows up the election will be called off?
