“No vote is ever thrown away” Unfortunately, yes it is.

A vote can be even worse than 'thrown away' in a primary. It can go to a candidate one would never consider voting for. For example, if I vote for Huckabee and he wins delegates, but later down the road decides to quit the race - whoever he endorses gets ALL his delegates! Therefore, I would've effectively voted for McCain. (That's most likely who he would endorse.)

That’s a good thought, one that most people are forgetting.
