Recommended: “How to get my nerd vote”

Via Michelle: Matt Haughey tells the world what he wants in a political candidate.

I’ve been thinking lately about a dream candidate for my nerd habits, my nerdy business, and the way I live my nerdy life. Regardless of party affiliation, if you’re running for an office from as small as city council all the way up to president, if you hit on any/all of these things, you just might get my vote.

What’s on Haughey’s wish list?

• Broadband everywhere.
• An emphasis on science in schools.
• Early voting by mail
• An overhaul to our transportation and energy infrastructures

Haughey makes more points, and I agree with all of them. A fabulous, thought-provoking read for this election season.
