Traditionally, whom is the correct choice. Because it sometimes sounds stuffy (depending on the audience), most people just leave it out.

AnonymousShould I use whom or leave a blank?You can leave it out because it is not the subject of the relative clause (cf. I met someone who is just like me, where who is obligatory), and I advise that you do so because whom would sound just plain silly there.
