Seriously, I'm becoming more persuaded that voting for the right person is much more important than some pragmatic, battle winning perspective that says minimize evil and maximize win potential. One election is not that much in the grand scheme of things. The funny thing is that once everyone realizes this, the principled vote becomes the pragmatic vote. Disclaimer, I didn't do that this time, so don't take this as reverse psychology. If you think it is, go ahead and vote pragmatically. If that confused you even more, then don't vote. Now stop thinking about it before your head explodes.

"So, did you vote for Obama?" "No, I wrote in for the Ron Paul/Hypnotoad ticket." "WHAT!? But you don't want McCain to win, do you?" "No, but I live in California. Unless I vote a couple million times, my vote doesn't matter. California's blue by about 20 points." "I can't believe you!!" Some people just don't get statistics.

  Where'd this vote hypnotoad meme come from? I've seen it pop up a couple places today.
