Does it make any sense for anyone to vote against their own party for a senator? Maybe a very moderate, centrist voter might be swayed to the more moderate of candidates, but really you're just voting the candidate's senate vote. 95% of them will vote along party lines in every significant vote. I suppose I'd most likely vote for an anonymous, faceless Democrat candidate who's only promise is to vote along party lines.
In this particular election, people are voting for which party holds control of the senate. I think it is absolutely logical to vote for the party you want to have control, regardless of who the candidates are.
