Hannah Miketana

Yesterday was Super Tuesday, and Georgia was one of the 24 states holding a primary. Now I like to hedge my bets, so I voted in both primaries. First, I went and voted in the Republican primary. Then, I put on a blond wig and voted in the Democratic primary. Who did I vote for you ask.? I voted for the same person in both primaries, Disney phenom Hannah Montana!

I think Hannah Montana is the perfect person to be our next president. The American presidency is a particularly challenging position given its dual role. The president serves as both the head of state and the chief executive. Many other nations divide this role. Thus, the American president must perform a delicate balancing act, and who better to accomplish than someone who is leading a double life. Miley Stewart is an average teen by day, but she is also secretly rock star Hannah Montana by night! It's the most outrageous thing since Jem!

Even more importantly, Hannah Montana is a uniter. When I voted in the Republican primary, I voted for Miley Stewart since she is the kind of family values candidate that would appeal to the Republican electorate. But for the Democratic primary, I voted for the rock star, Hannah Montana. Clearly, the outrageous liberal antics of a rock star are much more amenable to the Democratic philosophy on governing. Yet both of these persona are embodied in the same person! She is certainly a unifying political force to be reckoned with.

Now you might object that neither Miley Stewart or Hannah Montana were on the ballot in either primary. No problem I wrote them in. Now the electronic voting machine does not allow write-ins for primaries, but I brought my trusty magic marker. I simply crossed out Tom Tancredo and Chris Dodd and and wrote Miley Stewart and Hannah Montana respectively in their places. Problem solved.

Plus Hannah/Miley would totally get the tween vote. That's gotta count for something, right?
