What were they thinking?

So your party decides to run a write-in candidate for whatever reason. Ok, it's because the incumbent waited too long to quit hoping that the corruption investigation against him would blow over just like all the previous times. Well, you can only go to the well so many times Tommy Boy.

Anyway, back to the point. A successful write-in campaign needs a few things; money, support and a SHORT, EASY TO SPELL NAME. "John Doe" would be ideal. Shelly Sekula-Gibbs is nearly the antichrist of write-in names. It's too long. It's one of those stupid hyphenated names. It takes too long to put into the voting machine. Seniors wig out enough just getting in the same room as an electronic voting machine; now ask them to figure out how to add a super-sized name...

Maybe next time they can pick someone with a longer name like Minesh Thirugnanasampanthan. Don't laugh, that's a real name.
