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.

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