Yes, of course. I could strike-out on purpose

FAIL. There are only two outcomes to an at-bat (get on base or don't) but more than two candidates. You should get better at this "reason" stuff before you presume to lecture others about it.

Yeah, you should know that, since real verification is no longer necessary, the number of candidates is only limited by the number of people on Earth who can reasonably pass the age requirement for president

The point of the analogy was that it requires the batter to:

Assume his at bat doesn’t matter, and/or:
Believe his sending a message is more important than the outcome of the game.

It also assumes message integrity - that the message desired is the message received.

The message I get is that those who consider voting for Virgil either haven’t thought it through or don’t care if Obama wins.
