1. It's no joke if a bullshit "joke" candidate actually should
get on the ballot and a lot of "joke" voters decide to vote for him, whether as a protest vote or not.
I'm not speaking as an Obama supporter, although we could do worse, but this is serious crap and I resent having a joke candidate fouling up the mechanism--none too well functioning as it is--for a TV show.

The possibility of denying a very real candidate the very votes he or she might need to actually do some good in this country I find appalling. This is life and death serious business.
