4) Don't vote at all.
I wouldn't really do 3 or 4, but the ideas cross my mind. So, it's 1 or 2. One week to decide... hmmm.

3 seems like it would be really hard to pull off effectively. I mean, you could obviously vote for one of the bottom vote getters in the earlier primaries, but then there's little danger that candidate would end up in the general anyway.
In the same situation, I'd probably go with option 4 but option 2 is probably the better choice as far as being a good citizen. You'd be using the political power you actually have to try to ensure better government.
