You should still vote, just leave the presidential choice empty. Plenty of other positions/measures that are likely worth voting on.
I keep going back and forth between not voting for President and voting for Obama. I wish neither Obama nor McCain would get elected, but that isn't going to happen. I guess I should just go ahead and pick the lesser of the two evils (Obama, IMO) despite the fact that I don't support much of his agenda...

That's always been my problem with Ron Paul; I knew enough about him before his run at the nomination to not trust him. He's too cozy with the Lew Rockwell wing of the Libertarian party for my tastes.

So for you guys not voting do you care about health care? The two major candidates have very different views on health care. Depending on who wins can cost you thousands of dollars. For me Obama plan is better but under different situations McCain's plan might be better.
The two plans don't seem equally bad or good to me. I would think that alone would push someone to vote for one of them.
