So, I live in one of those states that will pretty much certainly give all of its electoral votes to Obama. I’m okay with this, but I do want to vote, and would like my vote to count for something. I feel like if I vote for McCain or Obama it won’t matter, as far as my personal voting worth is concerned. My idea is to vote for a write-in candidate, but someone obvious, so that there is a chance that my vote will be echoed by others and maybe accumulate to the hundreds or thousands. I have decided to vote for Stephen Colbert. I am hoping to be able to research the voting numbers for New Jersey, see the small number of people that voted for Colbert, and think, “I was part of that.”
Also, by mentioning Stephen Colbert, or any celebrity, more people will view my blog : )
