Phillips / Politics Why I Voted For J.R. Lind for Governor in the Democratic Primary

- Could This Man Be Any Worse than the Official Nominee?
2. Lind has proven that he can answer questions on the fly without causing the people watching to stare slack-jawed in horror. McWherter? Not so much.
3. Like McWherter, Lind is not a career politician. Unlike McWherter, Lind has never made an issue of this.
4. Lind is interested in things going on in my community. Just this last weekend, he attended a cricket match right by my house. McWherter has never been to a cricket match by my house during the campaign.
5. When people ask me why they should vote for McWherter, I honestly don't know why. If someone were to ask me why she should vote for Lind, I honestly wouldn't know why, either, but Lind hasn't been campaigning for months. As a non-candidate, he's as successful at articulating why he should be governor as the Democrat who is a candidate.
6. Lind will have the good sense to be embarrassed that anyone voted for him. McWherter will not.

Thank you for posting this before the polls closed. I mean, at this point, why the hell not?

dislikeThank goodness for an alternative. I'm almost getting to the point that I feel like voting for Basil would be like kicking kittens or something.
Steve - the first thing I'd do is get rid of the Blue Books.
There's your obscure Welsh political history reference of the day, brought to you by J.R. Lind For Governor Not Really Dot Com.
Yr wyf yn J.R. Lind ac yr wyf yn gymeradwyo y neges
But would Sully (the dog, not the Pred) tear down the Executive Residence? Or bite a State Trooper in his life?
Plus, you secretly wish that he was attracted to you. And you're very happy that he's one of the 25 people in the world that actually read the dribble that you "publish".
114 write-in votes in EV for the Dem gov primary, plus 44 ED votes with 52 of 172 precincts in. Could be fun to see who all got the same kinda love as JR.
I happen to know that JR Lind could never win in Tennessee because that photo up there was taken in a whorehouse! Truth!!
Man, JR Lind has been a gubernatorial candidate for less than 24 hours and already there's a scandal? Good thing for him only 25 people in the world read the dribble that I publish.
No one will ever know!
