Truth is for all the rhetoric spouted on here, votes for president in the general election only matter in a handful of states. Where your vote does matter is in the smaller, more local elections. My vote for president won't mean a thing (newsflash: we're going blue) nor will my vote for the House (we'd sooner elect a Coke can than a Republican) but my vote will matter in the Senate race. It will certainly matter for the state Senate election and will be critical for state rep where the margin is usually in the dozens of votes. Knowing his political views, I would rather have him stay home than cast an irrelevant vote for president but cast very meaningful and harmful votes in races further down the ballot.
