Oh, you definitely need to do that. It is so much more powerful in person.

In the words of Gary Johnson, "A wasted vote, is voting for someone that you don't believe in. If Obama or Romney are spoiled, they have themselves to blame."
Vote for someone you believe in. There will always be a chance that voting Green or Libertarian or Socialist or Independence will "spoil the election". If you let that scare you into voting Democrat or Republican, then the Democrats and the Republicans will never change. They will know that all they have to do to get your vote is make the other guy look scarier. And that's an easy job—the other guy is always scarier.
However.
As Noam Chomsky says, we have but one major political party in this country: the Business party; and it has two factions: Democrat and Republican. It's true, if you vote for a third party, the less favorable faction may come to power—for a while. But if you don't, the Business party will remain in power—forever. So ask yourself this: is it worth squabbling over which faction of the Business party holds office for a few years, if it means squandering, year after year, your only chance of throwing the whole lot of them out?
