I'd have to respectfully disagree with you, Marv. I think 51% of a populus voting for someone sends a message that we don't mind their conduct. Not voting can send a message that some aren't wiling to vote for the lesser of two evils. That's important because it forces the candidates to change to get the voters to come back. If, eventually, we have 8 people voting for president (even after a riviting 'Vote or Die' campaign by P. Diddy), that president won't have any real support. Without support, an elected official is useless.
