10. You might call your state party and ask them what's up.

Crist, when he ran as an Indie for US Senator against Meek and Rubio, was an example where the Dem got little to no help from the party on the theory that Crist had a better chance of beating Rubio. Dems have also backed the Republican against the Democrat, as when Chafee first ran for Governor in Rhode Island. (I don't know if the Party officially backed Chafee. Obama, head of the Party did and I don't think the Party did much for the Dem, if anything.) In Vermont, the DSCC doesn't run anyone at all against Sen. Sanders.

Your call might not do anything for this election (too late, I assume), but might get them thinking for next time.

That is my advice to you. However, speaking for myself, I don't like when the Party backs a Republican or an Indie over a Dem. I have never donated to the Dem Party on the theory that I was supporting any candidate running against a Dem. If they don't want to run anyone at all, figuring they'll only lose, that's one thing. But running someone, then backing away from them or supporting their opponent is not okay with me. It is one of several reasons I no longer contribute to the DNC.
