Electoral Blues

There is no truly conservative candidate running for governor of New Jersey this election. Out of the eight people in the run, you have a RINO, a Democrat, a socialist, a Green, a 9/11 Truther, another socialist, a Libertarian, and someone who’s running but who doesn’t seem to want anyone to know about his beliefs, past, or character.

Welcome to New Jersey.

I intended to use my irrelevant, statistically insignificant, and completely meaningless vote to “punish” Chris Christie for the last-minute love-fest photo ops he so very graciously provided Barack Obama 53 weeks ago. But, alas, there is no other candidate I can vote for in good conscience. Damn you, New Jersey!

So I will fall back on a contigency plan I utilized a few years ago when both main candidates running for governor were unabashedly pro-abortion: I will leave the “governor” line blank, and vote for the candidates below, each according to whoever I think will do the least amount of harm.

And take a long hot shower when I get home.
