I must be communicating terribly here. However, Matt, you have displayed what I was trying to convey: The reasons people SHOULD be voting for someone. I'm not saying you shouldn't vote for him, just that your reason for voting should not be one of pity.
I'd consider it to be more respectful to everyone involved if you voted based off the artwork instead of voting out of pity or sympathy. I could be wrong, but I'd think that dignity and integrity are important things to artists.
