Wasted Vote versus Statement Vote

[Xavier]

In the Florida senate election everyone is giving Kendrick Meek (Dem) zero chance to win. It is a three way race with a Gov. Crist (switch from Repub to Ind) who has a chance to be Rubio (Repub). My questions is this...Is voting for a candidate that has no chance of winning a wasted vote or a statement vote?

Everyone should vote for the cnadidate of their choice. One can't follow the 'polls'
and stay home that is why mediocre(sp) candidates win. I urge everyone to vote because every single vote counts.

Xavier,
I have been struggling with this same issue for the past couple of months. I am leaning towards voting for Crist.

Xavier,

They say all politics is local .. but aldowe dis race outta mi jurisdiction, it bugs mi up di nines

Is jus dis marning mi ina wan conversation drving to work asking what is Kendrick trying to prove? He was on Morning Joe dis marning wid dis foolisheness bout im a guarantee fi pull out a win

A wish he would just give it up. I strongly believe Christ is going Caucus with the DEMS if he wins

I voted for Crist because him did fight a hard fight for the teachers.

The race is about which fire you want. None were good candidates but aleast Crist is more of a moderate. Meek can't back out right now...he is on a media tour saying he is staying...if he was to quit it should have been a month ago.

Struggle with that, then came to accept that its best to Vote YOUR concience.
Its a democracy , not a horse race.
You vote for issues, what matters to you.. regardless of what the polls indicate.
You may just be surprised of the outcome.
