If you live in a solidly blue state, and you vote for Romney, you are throwing away your vote by voting for a sure electoral loser in that given state!

True, I live in Illinois, where Chicago will overwhelmingly vote for their "Favorite son" and it almost a guarantee that Obama will win his "home state". That being said, the alternatives on the Illinois ballot besides Romney are: A) pro-abortion, pro-open borders, pro-gay marriage Gary Johnson, who is running as a Libertarian because conservative GOP primary voters rejected him, and B)far-left environmental Marxist Green Party nominee Jill Stein
Voting third party won't change anything, but an Illinois conservative voting third party doesn't make sense. Both of the choices available in this state are WORSE than Romney.
