There's no such thing as a wasted vote. Voting one's conscience regarding who has the best ideas, and not who is more likely to win - that's a noble thing to do IMO.

Anyway, the speech was pretty decent. I would have certainly liked to see more information about the HOW, but it wasn't a bad speech per se.

He gives his website and says the how is there, fine, but the people are watching NOW. How many people do you think will go to the website? Less than half of the number that watched the speech, if he's lucky. This was his opportunity to prove that he's more than just idealism and that he has tangible plans to cause change, and I don't feel he's proven that yet.

I think the debates will have a much greater impact on the election than the acceptance speeches though.
