The Republican Frontrunner: "None Of The Above"

As the race for our next President heats up, the names for the top spot are already being talked about a lot. People like Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton and John Edwards are in the news and being seriously considered. Meanwhile on the Republican side candidates such as Fred Thompson, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney are only given the casual shrug by likely Republican primary voters. So that is why in 2008, Democrats might have to face the toughest "candidate" from the right, Mr. "None of the Above."

From Democrats.org:

None of the Above has polled higher than Rudy Giuliani, Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, and all the other Republican presidential candidates, reflecting a lackluster field that isn’t catching on with the American people.

Because Republicans are clamoring for a change, None of the Above is testing the presidential waters. This week in Iowa, look for an ad in the Ames Tribune, in which None of the Above will ask for the support of Republican voters. You can view the ad by clicking here (PDF).

Only 1 in 5 Iowa Republicans “say they are satisfied with” their choices in the Republican caucus. The current field represents no new ideas, no strategy to end the war in Iraq, and no plan for America’s future.

Only one candidate has a plan -- and it’s None of the Above.

And now, None of the Above is asking for your support.


The Democratic Party, out of the goodness of their hearts wants to help the GOP. They suffer from a weak pool of applicants, so we want them to gear up for 2008. Next year when the nation seriously considers who they want to lead them through 2012, we want to see a debate between two contenders that can have a real discussion about the issues. Since the current slate of GoOPers can only spew meaningless rhetoric and vitriol towards each other, it is the right time for None of the Above to announce his/her candidacy so voters can make the right choice next November.

Dearest republicans, there is no need to thank us for this, we do it out of the goodness of our hearts.
