I think that its not just the overall vote total that matters, its also watching how individuals vote. I know I look at who votes for what, and it affects me. I would imagine the guys at the top think the same way. My view is that voting matters because its a way to gauge sentiment, even if your vote won't change the outcome.

As a libertarian, i am used to my vote not mattering and I guess I am ok with it. :)
