To whomever said that a single vote doesn't make any difference...

...your bluff has been called this night via the Iowa caucus. Mitt Romney edged out a defeat against runner-up Rick Santorum by a margin of 8 votes. Not 800, not 8,000, eight. More appropriate, however, is the fact that, at one point in the reporting, he was ahead by literally a single vote.

If this is not evidence of how much each and every vote matters, I don't know what is.


Kinda weird having all this be said by someone who, during the Dubya/Kerry race, voted for the late film critic Gene Siskel, but my point stands regardless.
