Crowded field of fringies for 2012 US Presidential Election

[Pangloss]

Things are a bit slow at the moment, so I thought this might be fun. Politico has a piece up about all the long-shots who have already registered with the FEC for the 2012 election.

Rutherford B. Hayes — the “B” stands for Bert — is a 42-year-old Navy veteran who owns a gutter-installation business in Seattle.

 

Hayes is an independent, and his campaign is about maintaining “America’s sovereignty and the way we live,” he told the newspaper. He’s also involved in running the Miss Liberty America beauty pageant, which is for “elite feminine patriots” and will be held for the first time next year.

 

Might be fun to track some of the fringies through the cycle.
