It wouldn't matter if I could vote a thousand times, it would still result as if I didn't vote at all, in the end. ALL the electoral votes will end up going to Obama. Unless someone out there really thinks Romney is going to carry California.

Here is the flaw in your argument. Once CA was a Red State, now it is a Blue State. If everyone had your attitude of hopelessness believing there is no point in getting out to vote because "my vote won't matter", nothing would ever change. No State would ever change blue to red or vice versa.

If you and another million or 2 like you have this same hopeless attitude we are allowing the Left to beat us down, giving up because it's seemingly hopeless. This is precisely what they try to do every election because they never win on the issues except by trying to inflame their base to turn out while simultaneously depressing the oppositions will to do the same.

Consider this. Say Ca was won by Obama by 15 points in 2008 (I'm guessing) and people like yourself who want BADLY to get rid of him and are fired up do go to the polls, all of them even though they may think it makes no difference. Maybe you will come up short again but perhaps by just 3-4 points this time. You know how people love to follow trends and this sort of thing would cause people to re examine their views and cause tremendous angst on the Left.

If the Dems ever lost CA they would not win a presidential election, ever. Make it happen by voting and talking to as many people as you can who may believe as you do that it doesn't make any difference. It does make a difference.

Whatever. I was talking about THIS election, not some past, or some future.

The GOP has lost my support (generally). No more walking precincts talking to people door-to-door, for me.

They despise the Tea Party for fear it will upset their apple cart. They join with the worst of the Democrats in that.

I wonder how many GOP operatives there are around this place...every election cycle we see new sign ups telling us all about it.

Sorry charlie, I'm not going to dance to the tune of "fear". The sales pitch is falling flat this time around.
