[quote=takoma]I usually agree with TMWAU, and do not question his right (or anyone's) to vote his conscience. But let's distinguish between one vote, which, as he says, is almost surely not going to be decisive, and the 500 plus votes that decided the 2000 election. When we discuss the issue, especially in a popular online venue, we have the potential of affecting the actions of many. So when some of us respond to Man and try to change his mind, we have not only his vote as our goal, but those of the MD, VA, and other voters who might read what we write. And when I go into that booth and make my decision, I often think of myself as a statistical sample whose thoughts may be indicative of many others, and I take my lone vote a bit more seriously. It may be a fiction, but it's one of those "if everyone acted like that ..." fictions that democracy needs in order to work.[/quote]
