For Those of You May Be Thinking of Not Voting...

Not much point in me voting. Utah has six Electoral Votes this year, and the states pretty much go all-or-nothing, and Utah is solidly Republican. If I want Romney I win automatically, because Utah will go Republican. If I want Obama I lose automatically, because Utah will go Republican. If I write in someone else I not only lose, I get accused of stealing votes from one candidate or the other. What's the point?

Don't get me wrong, though. That won't stop me.

I know what you mean. Here in California, the GOP political esatblihment has gone financially bankrupt due to funds flowing away from them and into the PACs and Super-PACs. California has, for all puposes, been conceded to the Dems and will go heavily for Obama. I haven't even seen a presidential campaign ad on TV much less any GOP flyers in my mailbox. Actually, I'm still wavering on which way I will vote. I was in the same position 4 years ago until the GOP screwed themselves by making Palin the GOP VP candidate. I still want to know the full specifics of Romeny's economic plan. If it seems as if the country will go back to the deeply flawed economic polices that GWB had, then I'm not voting for Romney. So far, I've heard or seen very little in the way of specifics; "full transparency", indeed...
