Well, if Romney has already written off your state, and is just using it as a piggy bank or a pool of phone callers, you might as well vote for an actual conservative:

Sorry, I don't believe in voting for any third party. I appreciate that Romney isn't wasting a dime on NY, but putting the money towards states he can win. So what if he uses my state as a cash cow or a source of phone callers. I have NO ego involved here concerning whether he "cares" about my state enough to visit or spend money here. Everyone in the plays the part in the way that is most effective.

While I know Romney won't win NY, my vote for him does help increase the count towards the total number of votes nationwide. That number and percentage has taken on greater importance in recent elections. For instance, in 2000, Bush lost a lot of vote in the Florida panhandle because the networks mistakenly called FL too early, discouraging Bush voters waiting in line. Although Bush did win FL, his margin was reduced by the number of lost voters, giving reason to taint his victory for the Dems.

What a foolish attitude.Those who've been paying attention know that on 11/6 there will be 51 Presidential elections and using simple math in analyzing the results of these 51 elections will determine the ultimate winner.New York is a lost cause for Romney,in terms of Electoral votes.He can certainly raise funds there and volunteers from that state can still help Romney win the Presidency.

I live in Massachusetts which is also a lost cause for Romney.However,I live pretty close to a state that is very much a battleground state...not at all a lost cause for Romney.So my vote will mean literally nothing...at least for the Presidency.But given that this is gonna be a close one,EV-wise,my labors in New Hampshire may well help elect a President.
