I'm a pragmatist about these things. I think a protest vote is great, when your protest doesn't imperil something else.
Let's say (just hypothetically) that you'd freaking vomit if McCain were elected, you could live with an Obama presidency, and your state is close. I think NOT giving your vote to Obama in such a situation would be irresponsible. Even if the idealistic thing to do would be to hew to your principles vote (and I shudder as I type this) McKinney, you're opening the door to a McCain victory, and IMO that's way worse than not showing Cynthia your love.
But yeah, if your state is a foregone conclusion, let 'er rip. If I still lived in Utah, I'd probably never vote Democrat.
