Again, Freakonomics authors liken voting to playing the lottery

On this, a near-deciding Super Tuesday in American politics, Freakonomics author Stephen J. Dubner reminds us that statistically, your vote is rarely a deciding factor in an election. I’m posting this to feel good about myself for not voting today, especially after sending a fiscally conservative Ron Paul a coupla benjis in contributions which weren’t enough.

Poll: Would you vote for someone from an opposing political party?

As the voting season slowly heats up, I (an unaffiliated, apathetic voter) would like to know:

Would you vote for someone from an opposing political party?
Yes
No
I don’t affiliate with a single party


Why/why not in the comments, please.
