What still bothers me

So here we are, a day before the election, and the typical question people ask is "who are you voting for". The response I always get from my well thought out, well researched, and properly worded response is "who?". Seriously, we can't possibly have gotten this far in our country when people don't know who is running for president. Most people know about Ralph Nader in general, but they don't even realize that he is running for president. Every time though, without exception, whenever I say I am still deciding between Barr and Baldwin, people seem to think I am not talking about the presidential election. But seriously, if you are in Texas your vote doesn't really count. McCain will win Texas with at least 55%, so the only vote that does anything at all to get noticed is one that goes for neither of the two parties that are getting us into the current mess. But this blog obviously isn't going to be read by enough people (if any) to make much of a dent in that either, but it still just bothers me that people are crazy enough to think that they are throwing their vote away if they DON'T vote for the winner.
