Do our votes really matter in a state that is so predictably Republican?

Do our votes really matter in a state with only 7 electoral votes?

By the time my friend reached home after voting, our state was already colored red.  I think we should rethink our voting system.  I’m not sure the Electoral College is the way to go.  As always, for people who vote in the minority in their state, their vote won’t matter.

Did the people who voted for McCain in blue states, or for Obama in the red states waste their time voting?

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this heavy subject.
