It seems I struck a nerve. The RINOs stayed home or left slots blank or voted elsewhere in the two races you mentioned. Again, I fail to see the difference in the results of between your actions and the actions of folks like Warner and DiFrancesco.
And like it or not, you don't get judge by intentions in anything, you get judged by the results.
No, the Republicans in the district get judged by the results because they failed to replace the RINO incumbent who voted 6 times against the Partial Birth Abortion Ban (among other RINO crimes) in the primary elections. I'm not going to vote for a despicable person no matter what letter he puts next to his name. If that means a Dem get's the office (that has not happened in this district) than the fault lies with the Republicans and the Party that let the RINO make it to the General Election. If they had done the right thing and tossed the RINO out of the party, then he'd have to run under some other party or as an independent and wouldn't pollute the Republican box with his name and his presence.
