Speak for yourself. I vote person and ideals, not party. If that turns out to be one party more than another, then so be it, but party rarely, if ever, enters into it. I don't see voting for the person that reflects my views and ideals as throwing away my vote, even if I'm the only person that voted for him/her. Otherwise I'd be sanctioning things I don't believe, just to try to pick the winner. Now that's a wasted vote.
