Why don't you like Jimmie Johnson?

Spotted a great NASCAR poll question as the series heads to Talladega: Why don't you like Jimmie Johnson?

The choices:

He wins too much
He's from California, and not your typical NASCAR driver
He's Jeff Gordon's protégé
He drives for Hendrick Motorsports
He's too nice and doesn't show enough emotion, or stir up controversy
He's too vanilla and doesn't have much personality
His team has been caught with too many rules violations
All of the above
I like him, and don't understand why he is not more popular
Go vote here, then tell me your pick.
