WASHINGTON – Asked what they thought about WND Editor Joseph Farah's plan to reject both John McCain and Barack Obama Nov. 4, a stunning 43 percent of more than 5,000 participants in an unscientific, online poll indicted they agreed.
Farah, author of the new book, "None of the Above: Why 2008 Is the Year to Cast the Ultimate Protest Vote," says this is one more indication of broad disenchantment with the electoral choice the major parties have provided Americans.
"I think all the experts are in for a big shock this year," says Farah. "This is not just another presidential election year. This is a year of revolt. This is a year of grass-roots rebellion. Because this movement is happening spontaneously, without any leaders, the media and even the campaigns have been slow to recognize the extent of the disgust and revulsion voters are feeling. I know one of these two candidates is going to win, but the real story of this election may end up being the way so many Americans say, 'No thank you, none of the above.'"
Even among those who expressed a pro-McCain position, 30 percent of the total vote – the top answer in the poll – was for the choice: "I am not crazy about our choice, but I will hold my nose and vote for McCain." Another 10 percent said they "have reservations about both major-party candidates," but lean toward McCain.
Only 2 percent chose the response: "McCain will be a great president" while another 2 percent said they would "run to the polls enthusiastically to vote for McCain." Another 1 percent said they "don't see anything wrong with McCain."
Obama supporters did not add up to 1 percent in the poll.


It should prove to be a very interesting election. I will vote for None of the Above! What about YOU?peace

and you'll be the first to complain, when we're still at war, and another, and another, and things are not going as YOU thought they would with a republican in office. BUT! it's your vote, and you must do what you must do.
