If we can somehow find someone named Jesse White (or something like Jessie Whyte) to take the other Jesse White's place that would be the most ideal and biggest "FU" to the Democrats for trying to intimidate us. However, that is probably not feasible so I support Mr. Henry's nomination of Jon Stewart. Besides, voters might think he's the Daily Show Jon Stewart which could benefit us. Very unfortunate that we lost Jesse, we had him as a guest at LP Chicago and he seemed like a fantastic candidate.
