Obama didn't win my state in 2008, so he has no shot in hell in 2012.
Even if I lived in a contested state, pretending your vote really matters is just silly. If an election is very, very close in a state, and it comes down to a few hundred or even a few dozen votes, your vote still didn't decide anything. So, again, I think you may as well vote your conscience instead of holding your nose to pick one of the two viable candidates just because you're "throwing your vote away" otherwise. Your vote is statistically insignificant, so feel free to waste it on the very best candidate.
