<p>Gary Mathes, an Alaskan native, is out pushing the none-of-the-above ticket as part of his &#8220;VOTE 4 JESUS&#8221; campaign on the streets of Denver and St. Paul.  (&#8220;Denver was work, but St. Paul has been a vacation.&#8221;)</p>

<p><a title="Strib story" href="http://www.startribune.com/politics/27791564.html?elr=KArksDyycyUtyycyUiD3aPc:_Yyc:aUU" target="_blank">Jesus is just all right with this guy (more at StarTribute)</a></p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The Lord does not like pride, but all these candidates are proud. Pride is an abomination unto the Lord. That&#8217;s why I don&#8217;t vote. I won&#8217;t vote for either of them. But I will support whoever wins. I&#8217;m just an honorable, humble American who loves his country.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Commenting on Sarah Palin&#8217;s qualifications:</p>
<blockquote><p>Sarah Palin, with the $1,200 energy package she provided to Alaska residents, paid for his trip. Mathes says. That doesn&#8217;t mean he&#8217;s a fan, though. &#8220;She&#8217;s as smart as a rock,&#8221; he laughs. &#8220;She was a basketball star and a second-runner-up in the Miss Alaska pageant, and the governor&#8217;s race in Alaska is a popularity contest. She&#8217;s not as experienced as she needs to be, but look at the ones who are experienced. They aren&#8217;t doing a lot for us.&#8221;</p>
<p>Nonetheless, Mathes is excited about the possibility of having an Alaskan in the executive branch. &#8220;Maybe if the old man dies of natural causes, we&#8217;ll have an Alaskan president,&#8221; he chuckled. &#8220;She&#8217;s not ready though, but she&#8217;s a good girl.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
