Many voters were not content with their choices for President. Thankfully, our democratic systems allow these free thinkers to write in their own choice. The write-in tally from Duval County, Florida reveals who was most popular. There are fictional characters and non-fictional, former candidates and current celebrities, religious figures and sports heroes.  Two surprises: Ron Paul beat out Jesus, and Donald Duck ties his long time rival Mickey Mouse. Something odd: four people wrote in Obama but his name was already on the ballot. My personal favorite, Weird Al Yankovic.

The overall write-in winner was Hillary Clinton- not a complete surprise given her strong showing during the primaries and her popularity with older Americans (a significant population in Florida). Joe the Plumber also made a showing…some are speculating he may run as Palin’s veep in 2012. “None of the Above” was also popular, but some people were not satisfied with so passive a response. One person wrote “Against All,” another voted for “Anarchy,” and a particularly articulate voter wrote-in, “They Both Suck in ‘08.”
