A write-in vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning is just a gesture of protest at best,and pretty darn stupid if it helps elect another candidate committed to destroying your freedoms.

but keep feeling all smug and superior.

A write-in vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning is just a gesture of protest at best,and pretty darn stupid if it helps elect another candidate committed to destroying your freedoms.

but keep feeling all smug and superior.

Nothing I have said in regard to my vote, EVER, was to imply that I felt smug and/or superior.

How is a write-in vote for a candidate with no chance of winning different from a non-write-in vote for a candidate who has no chance of winning or losing an individual state? In my case, I am in Illinois. My vote will not give Romney a single elector. If I could vote a thousand times, it would not give Romney a single elector.

If it is a matter of margins, then that too is a gesture of sorts.
