Barack Obama - the nation's 44th


Love it or hate it, for better or worse, this is it. History made in a day. But the power to make history is always there.

I voted 3rd party.

Do you think your voice/vote was muted/wasted?

In one sense, probably. I mean, since we're a blue state I doubt my vote even made it into the statistics (I'm sure there were more than 19,000 write-ins for Ron Paul). Mine was probably just thrown out.

In another sense, I didn't vote thinking I would read about RP in the papers the next morning. I voted because as a citizen of the U.S., even though it is mechanical gesture, I acknowledge that there is some value in casting my ballot.
