If you know that your particular vote would have virtualy no impact on the ellection, why not? I live in CT and I know that the odds on my state voting in a Republican for president are fairly low. I expect my state to go Democrat no matter what so why not get an iPod touch in exchange for my worthless vote? If I was in a heavily contested state (Ohio/Florida) than that is a different story and my vote would not be for sale. I think it also depends on how heavily a state leans (blue/red).

It shows the value people put in the voting system. Just another reflection of the times we live in. <strong>Ricardo</strong>: Yeah, wouldn't find me voting for a Republican either. I know my vote counts only when there are a thousand others along with it. And my one vote will not be given to that party. EOTR: It is sad. It shows the value people put in the voting system.

It's kind of cheesy if you ask me. There's not enough money out there that would make me vote for a Repulican. This can’t be legal. It’s kind of cheesy if you ask me.
