if you determine that I wasted my vote because I felt the candidate that I supported was the best fit to pass my beliefs as to how the country should be run, I ask you why? just because I know my guy isn't going to win this election I should just stay home? or should I join the crowd and vote for who I think will win? maybe I should pick the lesser of two evils? perhaps the better looking candidate should get my vote?

the only vote that was thrown away is the ballot that was not cast

something tells me that "the ignorant side of the U.s voter" did what they did for a reason, not just a hollow campaign promise and a good marketing scheme.

I am BEYOND BEYOND thrilled! History has been made, and I have never EVER been more proud to be an American...certainly not in the past 8 years.

I cried happy tears when Obama won. Possibilities seem truly limitless.

The word can't no longer exists.

we go into the election as a herd of cattle the popular vote is not what decides the election (as seen in Al Gore's case) so I stand by my decision to call voting for anything but the two majority parties a wasted vote UNLESS:


DISCLAIMER!!!!

The non majority party (libertarian/green whatever) is in a position where they will garner a significant amount of the vote /have a chance of actually winning....
