Maureen Dowd in the Times has been pushing for Idaho Governor Butch Otter, simply because she likes writing “Butch Otter.”
But Butch Otter has nothing on Aiken County (South Carolina) Sheriff Mike Hunt. We only have a couple of weeks left–is it too late to get up a grass-roots movement to get Mike Hunt into the White House?
I mean, seriously, who would you rather spend the next four years looking at: Obama, Romney, or Mike Hunt? Everybody: “Mike Hunt or Bust!”

The only drawback about the White House is that if you page Mike Hunt, it might involve an intern.

I assume Mike Hunt will be open to bipartisan compromise.
