Overdrive’s online polling of readers indicated a strong preference for Mitt Romney over President Obama – but with a sizable group (13 percent overall) preferring a third-party candidate or, well, none whatsoever.
Asked who had his vote for president this year, Overdrive Facebook fan Mark W. Arnold quipped, “Willie Nelson!”
“Jerry Garcia!” said owner-operator Don Lanier.
Owner-operator Jeff Clark: “Is it too late to vote for Condoleezza Rice? I listen to her every chance I get.”
Jokes and wishful thinking aside, a majority of respondents hoped the Republican candidate’s election might at least jumpstart the slow recovery from last big recession. Romney “is the grass on the other side of the fence,” said Jason Haggard, pretty well summing up a lot of the comments on Overdrive’s Facebook page. “It may not always be greener, but in this case we might have something to start a lawn with.”
