Is your vote more important than someone else's vote?

[Killarney]

A couple questions:
1) Is your vote more important than another American citizen's vote?
2) Is your opinion more important than another American citizen's opinion?

All this bitching and moaning about Kerry is getting on my nerves. Oh, I'm going to stay home in November. Oh, I'm going to leave the country. Wah, wah, wah.

Grow up.

Your vote is no more important than your neighbor's vote. It just so happens that more people (so far) are voting for Kerry than anyone else. Is that a crime? A horrific twisting of justice? Did the Supreme Court come down and command Kerry have the nomination? No. What happened? PEOPLE VOTED! It's not a big conspiracy. It the way the country works. We vote.

I was a Clark supporter. I contributed to the campaign (money, time, and effort). Wrote letters to NH voters, hosted a house party fundraiser, etc. He didn't win. I'm now in the process of figuring out who to support next and I'll work just as hard for that person (right now I'm thinking Edwards, but I'm not sure yet).

I just wanted to write this out because sometimes I think that people get so selfishly involved that they forget that no one person's vote is more important than their neighbor's and this country works on the majority vote. Just because the candidate that I wanted didn't get the majority of voters, that doesn't mean that I was shafted. Everyone has a right to their opinion and their vote and it just so happens that the majority didn't agree with me. I'm 30, not 3, so I realize that the world does not revolve around me so I'm moving on to the next candidate.

3. Yep something like 20,000 Wyoming votes for 1 electoral vote

versus 60,000 plus for one California electoral vote in the general election.

2. mine is....

I live in florida. My vote is more important than the votes of people in states that always vote the same way, hawaii or texas for example.

4. Is someone else's vote more important than mine?

I ask this because by the time the primary gets to my state, it will be over. Therefore, my vote doesn't matter (even though this time, we are going to have a caucus). It has no value with the way this thing has been set up so front loaded.
