write in candidate

If John McCain screws up one.more.time., in this context selecting a Democrat or a pro-choice (essentially the same animal) baby-killing Vice President, this race will be basically over for me.
Not that I would stop opposing Obama. I can oppose that skinny freak from Chicago and still vote a write-in candidate or that other guy [...]

If John McCain screws up one.more.time., in this context selecting a Democrat or a pro-choice (essentially the same animal) baby-killing Vice President, this race will be basically over for me.

Not that I would stop opposing Obama. I can oppose that skinny freak from Chicago and still vote a write-in candidate or that other guy (Bob Barr, anyone?)

From the AP:

SNEEDVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Angela Tuttle has been elected constable in Hancock County by a single vote - her own.

Tuttle told the Citizen Tribune newspaper in Morristown that her father, a former constable, encouraged her to run as a write-in candidate for the county post.

The write-in candidate for school board in District 9 shares a link brought to him by a former blogger:

On June 26, I attended a candidate forum presented by the Hamilton County Voters Council and Court Watch Partners, with additional sponsorship from the Chattanooga Neighborhood Association Council (CNAC). All four candidates who will be on the August 7 ballot for Hamilton County Sheriff were there, and a write-in candidate also briefly appeared, as sort of a surprise guest.

The Tennessean, and probably other newspapers across the state, are carrying this AP story today:

Professor Sloop ran into a bit of incompetence today at the polling place:

While I’m signing in and having my ID checked, the man in line behind me says to the woman at the same desk, “I’m a write-in candidate for [local office]. How do I write my name in?”
