obama is currently up by 25 points, my vote for Romney or Mickey Mouse will not matter.

Wrong, it does matter. It matters a lot. Helping to at least keep the race somewhat competitive in states Obama is going to win still sends a message. A Democrat blowout in any state is not good. Also, it is possible that we win the electoral college and not the popular vote like Bush did in 2000. That allowed the Democrats a moral victory since they could say more people wanted the Democrat ticket nationwide. ALL conservative US citizens should be voting for the R/R ticket this time out. Obama and the Democrats need to be dealt a decisive defeat.

This^^^

Also, try to discourage your liberal friends from voting, it's like a [legal] multiplier effect for your vote :D

At one time California was going to have it’s electoral votes proportional to the vote.
Apparently, if we did that the dem would easily lose here.
There are only a few sections of California that are liberal, unfortunately its winner take all, so the way the population falls, the liberals are bunched to just a few areas and dominate.
Someone has a red/blue map of California, and it is amazing, how little of California is actually liberal.
(Oh, good grief..sorry this is rambling. I am starting to sound like obama just blathering looking for a coherent sentence.)
