It all depends on the alternatives.
McCain and Palin versus Obama and Biden didn't leave most people with much of a choice. Especially considering that McCain could die at any moment and leave us with someone dumber than Bush.
Ron Paul isn't much of a choice either. Any person with an ounce of common sense can see that Ron Paul is a Judas with nefarious ulterior motives.

I just turned 18 and will never vote once in my entire life.
To me its like voting on pro wrestling, it makes you feel pretty good and you feel like your contributing, but I don't really know if your vote has any outcome at all. For all we know, the votes are already in the box before the booths are open, or however they do it.
All it would take is the most basic of computer techs to just change the total number of votes to whatever they want.
I for one believe they already tried it during the bush election, learned that it works, and learned that nobody caught on to it. Now they will likely just do it more often now.

The question that has me pondering today is, why would ANYONE VOTE since all we have ever had is corrupted officials and corruption in government/regimes across the globe.
I'm in awe really.

Kind of like being thirsty and saying we shouldn't drill for water cause we probably won't find it.
Worst case you write in a name. To not vote at all is like not even trying.
