Sitting out does not help Obama.
Votes not cast are not counted for any candidate.
You haven't thought this through.
Imagine there is a town with 11 voters and two candidates: R and D. According to polls, R is expected to win by 6-5. But when the vote is taken D wins by 5-4. Why? 2 of the Rs failed to vote. They sat it out.
Sitting out this one if you are a conservative helps Obama.Anyone agree?
