FERGUSON, Mo. (AP) — The two winning primary candidates for St. Louis County executive anticipated a general election campaign heavy on the nuts and bolts of local government: taxes, roads, parks and schools.
Then came Ferguson.
Sparking a national debate over race relations and police killings, the fatal shooting of 18-year-old Michael Brown, who was black, by a white municipal police officer in early August also transformed a local election that typically draws little attention outside of St. Louis....

Question for Democrats: can Michael Brown vote for himself?
“What can Brown do for you?”
Hey I’m fine with them throwing away their votes, it’s probably the most intelligent thing they’ll do in their entire lives!
Anything that splits the Left’s vote is good.
Write-in whoever, by all means.
He would probably do as well as most other county officials.
LOL good.
Then they can go back to screeching about having a white city council.
They are just killing time until the grand jury gives them an excuse to riot again.
Community organizers gonna organize.
Sure, as long as the machines are properly calibrated.
Sounds good to me. Helps the Republican candidate. In fact, I endorse this for all states in the U.S. Let’s write in Michael’s name Democrats. It is your duty.
Heck yes along with the other cemetery dwellers. BTW, voting only once is racist.
That tactic does nothing but confirm my opinion that these troublemakers are just plain stupid.
.
Is that better?
These people are so messed up.
They’ll get all fired-up and spend great amounts of time and energy for something silly like this stunt, but when it comes to things that matter, like better schools or lower crime, they can’t be bothered to get off their asses.
Getting priorities backwards >>> method for making sure a community fails
Guess we will have to chuck that “there ain’t no one that stupid” for another election cycle.
Dead people vote in Chicago...the dead are voted in St. Louis.
Mortifying, I tell ya!
Micheal Brown’s mother has asked that people NOT do that.
” I am encouraging and asking ALL well-intentioned extended family members, friends, neighbors, businesses, associations, organizations or individuals associated with social media or any activists or affiliated groups, and any and all Missouri politicians NOT to add any additional drama into our lives. We ask that no flyers, wearing apparel, print or video usage of Michael’s name, image or likeness, be used in connection with a WRITE-IN candidate campaign affiliated with the Democratic, Republican, Independent, or any other party, or non-party, whether appearing on a November 4, 2014 sample or official ballot in St. Louis County or otherwise, or for any other unauthorized political, commercial or economic purpose. We think such moves could be considered divisive, as we move on to future and more productive endeavors. We take no position on the upcoming election. People should vote for the candidate of their choice.”
I think it would be really cool if they write in Michael Brown in EVERY write in slot up and down the ballot. The Fergies need to prove that they really do love their “gentle giant”. This would do it.
Didn’t Richard M. Nixon believe that the dead of St. Louis threw MO to JFK in 1960?
