My BRF* D.P. in Clearwater sent me this nugget the other day. There were some interesting write-in votes for president in Jacksonville this year.

Some voters expecting to vote for Barack Obama or John McCain two weeks ago were surprised to see 11 other names on the ballot. But 736 voters in Duval County weren't happy with any of the choices and wrote in 191 other names.

[...]

George W. Bush got two votes to serve a third term.

Others getting multiple votes were Jesus, God, Donald Duck, Mickey Mouse, Tim Tebow and that perennial favorite, "None of the above."

Perhaps surprisingly, Joe the Plumber and John Doe only got one vote each, tying Bill Clinton, Theodore Roosevelt, Bill O'Riely, Tiger Woods, Bobby Bowden, Tommy Chong, Willie Nelson and Homer Simpson.

It figures that a fan of Bill O'Reilly wouldn't know how to spell his name ...

But my favorite vote of all was "They Both Suck '08." At least that voter is up front about his or her feelings.
