    FYI

    I did a little research since my intention was to write-in Ron Paul for president in the upcoming Nov. election. Unfortunately, a write-in vote for Ron Paul will just be thrown out(not counted at all) as he has not submitted a declaration of intent to the election authority. Ron Paul himself have asked people not to do this. Instead he has endorsed Chuck Baldwin, Constitution Party. I would much rather be voting for Ron Paul, but as it stands, my protest vote will be going for Chuck Baldwin.

    If anyone thinks I have incorrect information, please let me know.

    In California it really doesn’t matter who you vote for, all 54 electoral votes will go to the Democratic candidate. That’s pretty much a given. (Intrade.com is currently giving odds of 94% chance of Obama carrying Cali. 7% for McCain) If you lived in a swing state, your vote might count for something, but with the electoral college system and living in California, it doesn’t.

    If what you want to do is vote, “I protest this whole stupid charade.” then it probably also doesn’t matter whether you write in Ron Paul or vote for Chuck Baldwin, ’cause as much as it saddens me, no one is listening to that protest either.

    Yah, I am well aware my vote means nothing anyway. However I want my protest vote recorded and as such will vote for Baldwin.

    It’s a throwaway vote, but I will vote for Baldwin as well, and against my Congressman and all bond measures.

    It’s easy to vote your conscious in a national election in California since the outcome is predestined.
