James Brockman "Brock" Olivo was a standout football player at the University of Missouri during the mid-1990s. After college he enjoyed a brief career in the NFL. He's recently declared his intention to run for the Congressional seat being vacated by Rep. Kenny Hulshof. (Hulshof is running for Governor of Missouri after Matt Blunt declined to run for re-election.)
According to a story in today's Post-Dispatch, public records show that Olivo has NEVER voted in any election since he's been eligible to vote. He admits to being a "recovering apathetic."
Would you vote for Olivo, knowing this fact?

Also, Ralph Nader - please sit down and shut up. You're an irrelevant nuisance.
That is all.

I don't live in MO, but no I would not vote for someone who had not even voted in the past. Maybe he needs to learn a bit about the process.
I thought about this in light of "let ye who is without sin cast the first stone" and "take notice of the log in your own eye" but it just seems wrong to me that he would want to enter the democratic process without ever actually participating in it before.
I couldn't agree more about Nader.
