Alright, a lot of people have given me heat for this comment, so I want to explain.

I knew John Kerry would win Massachusetts without my vote. It's illogical to think that my single vote mattered in the state of Massachusetts. However, my vote did matter in the whole country. Once reason John Kerry conceded as early as he did was because he did not win the popular vote. People like me probably caused John Kerry to not win the popular vote.

Therefore, I do actually feel bad for not voting. Because of how close this election was every vote did matter. John Kerry's concession is proof that every vote does count and you shouldn't not vote just because you know that your electoral votes will go for your candidate.
