But wait, don’t you think George Washington, John Adams or Calvin Coolidge would be a better president than Johnson, Goode or Hoelfling? If you’re going to vote for a person who can’t possibly become president of the United States, why vote for someone lesser? Write in John Adams and be proud that you have voted your conscience.

Why not?

Why don’t they just set it at 100.0-0.0 and call the whole thing off?

Why not?

Because they're dead, obviously. {And I never said that Johnson, Goode, or Hoefling were lesser.}
