In the last post I alluded to the governor's race in New York. Here in California we have Whitman and Brown, both of whom seem to be running on the platform of spotlighting how much worse the other one is.
It almost seems like the ballot should be reworked so that rather than voting in favor of one candidate you would instead identify the candidate who you'd most NOT want to see in office, and then the governor's office would be given to the one who was shown as least objectionable.
That way, when nothing got done, it would be as expected; the purpose was merely to not screw up in any significant way.
Every election should include the choice of "None Of The Above." If NOTA wins, then someone gets drafted from the jury pool.
