No. But looking at the election results, it would have made no difference. This is one of those times I felt it wasn't worth the bother. I felt the same way in 2002. As a conservative, why bother when the deck is stacked against you? Its not like the people of this state agree with my views.

I really believe that the reason they beat us over the head with polls is to convince conservatives to not bother to vote. It's easy to discourage some voters apparently. It happened in the Bush Gore vote when Republicans didn't vote when they heard Gore already won Florida. It's a shame that so many people fall for it.

An opposition minority vote, at the very least, weakens the mandate of the winning vote. I'd rather lose by a tenth of a percent than by 10 percent, if I have to lose. Then at least there's a sense of hope.
