Tired of the stomach-churning, mind-numbing, politics-as-usual national conventions?
Gary Mathes, an Alaskan native, is out pushing the none-of-the-above ticket as part of his “VOTE 4 JESUS” campaign on the streets of Denver and St. Paul. (“Denver was work, but St. Paul has been a vacation.”)

“The Lord does not like pride, but all these candidates are proud. Pride is an abomination unto the Lord. That’s why I don’t vote. I won’t vote for either of them. But I will support whoever wins. I’m just an honorable, humble American who loves his country.”
Commenting on Sarah Palin’s qualifications:
Sarah Palin, with the $1,200 energy package she provided to Alaska residents, paid for his trip. Mathes says. That doesn’t mean he’s a fan, though. “She’s as smart as a rock,” he laughs. “She was a basketball star and a second-runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, and the governor’s race in Alaska is a popularity contest. She’s not as experienced as she needs to be, but look at the ones who are experienced. They aren’t doing a lot for us.”
Nonetheless, Mathes is excited about the possibility of having an Alaskan in the executive branch. “Maybe if the old man dies of natural causes, we’ll have an Alaskan president,” he chuckled. “She’s not ready though, but she’s a good girl.”
