Who cares what the current status is? If you're only going to vote when the vote is either in your favor or close enough for you to try and swing it in your favor then I don't really care about your vote. You should be voting because you feel one way or the other about the quotes in question rather than because you want the illusion of feeling special when your vote is cast.

I think I agree with orrion. If you want to vote, then vote. It shouldn't matter how many other votes there are or which side is winning, because nobody actually wins until the end of the voting period. If you don't care enough to vote regardless of the current vote count, then you just shouldn't vote at all because your heart is clearly not really in it.

The other thing, about people being convinced and changing their minds, should happen as a course of natural discussion regardless of whether or not the convincing post also included a vote.
