Well, on my ballot, if I were to not vote for the incumbent in a lot of the state & local races, that left me with a choice between a Democrat and a Libertarian in all of the cases where I was left with a choice of 2 non-incumbents. The Democrats would be more likely to spend more. Which is why I came to the conclusion I did. I guess your ballots are somewhat different from mine, then, in terms of how heavily any given party is represented, and how likely a candidate from a particular party is to beat one from another particular party.
