Who remembers Vote Pat Paulson and sending a message "none of the above"?
Reading about those who are doing this, voting conscience and "none of the above" and voting for Edwards. I came of age during Pat Paulson and Snoopy yrs and remember people voting for them as a message "none of the above".

1. That was also used in "Brewster's Millions," wasn't it?
Besides, you know if that were an option, one of the Repugs would just change their name by election night.

Romney: See? They knew I was changing my name, and they're ready for change!

2. I do...
the Smothers Brothers' show was my favorite - they even had the Who and the Doors as musical guests. Pretty radical at the time. Paulsen was a regular who started his campaign from the show.

4. Funny you should mention that...

Here is a post I made last night in a response to the question "Who should I vote for?"

6. In a San Francisco election, I voted for a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence --
whose occupation was listed as "nun of Thee above."

7. Many initial post-Soviet Russian elections had that as an option.
At least I remember reading at the time that they did. Lots of new elections had to be called, because "none of the above" won fairly often.
