Hit Coffee is the story of Will Truman (trumwill), a southern transplant in the mountain west with an IT background who bides his time substitute teaching while his wife brings home the bacon. This site is a collection of reflections on the goings-on in his life and in the world around him. You will probably be relieved to know that he does not generally refer to himself in the third-person except when he's writing short bios on his web page.
Greetings from Callie, Arapaho, a red town in a red state known for growing red meat. And from Redstone, Arapaho (Aw-RAH-pah-hoe), a blue city with blue collar roots that's been feeling blue for quite some time.
Nothing written on this site should be taken as strictly true, though if the author were making it all up rest assured the main character and his life would be a lot less unremarkable.
This website is maintained by Guy Webster (web), who also contributes from time to time. Web hails from the midwest and currently lives in Truman's home city of Colosse, Delosa. He works as a utility IT person at Southern Tech University, their alma mater.
Also contributing is Sheila Tone (stone) a West Coaster, breeder, and lawyer who has probably hooked up with some loser just like you and sees through your whole pathetic little act.
So here’s some questions: does anyone not vote for president due to the Electoral College? Do third parties benefit because people in non-competitve states feel more comfortable voting for third parties since they live in non-competitive states? If not, to both, then why not? I have some thoughts but want to hear what you think (if anything).

I think people in non-competitive states are more likely to throw their votes away on third party, vanity, wacko candidates since they already feel their vote doesn’t count so they might as well make it official and throw it away.

That’s my plan, anyway!
(In all truthfulness, I’m voting for Johnson precisely because I believe that, of the three, he is the candidate that would make the best president. Unlike previous third party candidates, he actually has a record and a biography I would actually vote for in a primary.
If I lived in a more competitive state or we based elections on a popular vote - I might not be afforded this luxury and would have to make the decision between the primary two candidates.)
