No, not talking about Greens or Libertarians here, but certifiable nuts or joke candidates.
Anyone here vote for Sister Boom Boom for mayor of San Fran? Absolutely Nobody for Washington state Lt. Governor? Mike the Mover for WA Governor? Vermin Supreme in the D.C. primary? Jello Biafra? Any LaRouche followers? The Workers World Party? Pegasus the Pig?
My confession: I voted for Absolutely Nobody. 1992 candidate for Washington state Lt. Governor. He legally changed his name to run for the office.

4. I'd vote for Ron Paul if I lived in his district |
|
He give other Republlicans headaches, and he sees the war in Iraq and other civil liberty restrictions as the crap that they are.

5. I didn't but thousands in Austin did... |
|
vote for Leslie the cross-dresser for mayor. :-)
I also have an old friend who had his name legally changed to The Mad Hatter who ran for mayor of Lubbock but by then I didn't live in Lubbck anymore. So I didn't get to vote for him.

7. Wasn't there a drag queen who was a serious candidate in Toronto? |
|
She ran for Toronto city council this past year.
I don't remember her name, but she also was seeking the leadership of the Alliance Party, if I remember correctly.
