I saw a teaser on the front page of USA Today the other day echoing the sentiments of many Americans that ”this election needs to be over.”
Alas, the winner will be announced in just 7 days - or maybe 8, or maybe…if we have some kind of snafu like the past two presidential elections, we may have to wait for a convoluted congressional or judicial process to determine who is really going to take the helm of the United States for the next 4 - or 8? - years.
However it shakes out on the 4th of November, one thing is for certain: this election is a unique opportunity for voters to express their disgust with the political process. I am referring to the option of voting not for the Democratic or Republican candidiate, nor for any of the other independent candidates on the ballot, but for the rightful Democratic presidential candidate: Hillary Clinton.
Anyone planning to write-in Hillary Clinton for President must also write-in a Vice-Presidential candidate in order for the ballot to be valid.
My choice is former Secretary of State Collin Powell. Yes, I know he is a “Johnny-come-lately” to the Democratic Party but I prefer him to Obama in the VP seat with Hillary at the helm. I believe they would work very well together.
So that’s my vote, as it will appear on my absentee ballot, which hopefully will be counted. Watch for the returns from Ohio, specifically Noble County. If no report of my write-in is included with the official tallies, it got buried.
Stay tuned…
