**FBR** and **Zoe**
I saw that you are voting for Obama in a red state. Why do you still wish to vote for him even though your state is red? I suspect it's because you really like him.
I am struggling with the fact that I'm not a McCain supporter and live in a blue state. I know that not voting is not an option for most here, but after voting in 4 presidential elections, I'm just not as psyched about voting as I once was.
I'm hoping somebody will be able to relate to how I'm feeling .....
And so I say to you, you are Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of Hell shall not prevail against it.
Re: **FBR** and **Zoe**
LOL!
Cheers!

The actual president may be decided on only all or nothing electoral votes, but that doesn't mean that percentages and overal popular vote don't count for something.
I think the Republican party in particular could be in for a real crisis of confidence if they don't win the White House and/or loose more seats in Congress. You can be part of sending a signal to them that you don't like the direction they're heading. Not voting would actually accomplish that to some extent I think (the enthusiasm gap has been a big reason for/example of the GOP's problems IMO), but I also think voting 3rd party/write in sends a huge signal. It says, look, I'm here, I care, I just can't bring myself to vote for you even though I don't like the other guy.
I know what it's like to have your party down and out and leaving you behind. It sucks; I'm sorry.
I'm really late to this party, but I am a bit of a different situation. I'm voting in VA which E08 considers red, per my question a LONG time ago, but I consider purple and in play --so this is the first time in my life that I've perceived my vote to be of utmost importance.
Now, when I was a TX resident, I voted in 2004 (absentee b/c in law school in DC), but note 2000. In 2000 it was raining cats and dogs and I saw no point driving to Houston from College Station to vote against the state's governor who was running for president. So, maybe I'm not the most help, lol.
