After the Iowa caucus, many candidates will have to admit their adolescent aspirations for president are both absurd and financially unfeasible. But before they go back to political obscurity, we???re taking a quick look at a few of the wackos who want to rule the free world this week.
Who: Ron Paul
Current Job: Republican Representative from Texas.
Currently Polling: 6% [CNN]
Why You Should Be Happy About His Poll Numbers: It’s not so much that Ron Paul is crazy, it’s that his supporters are crazy. They want the economy to be run on Ron Paul dollars, they’ll throw away $200,000 in a single day for a candidate who has no chance and they think dressing up as a serial killer will inspire more votes.
TV Campaign: Even though he doesn’t believe in a federal government, he does believe in Christmas. Happy Holidays from the Pauls!
And people have the audacity to wonder why racists love Ron Paul? That commercial was so diverse.
New York Times Mentions Since 2007: 81, starting on January 21.
The Good News: We live in a country where just having a blimp isn’t enough to be president.
The Bad News: When we’re filing our income taxes in April, we’re going to wish he was still in the running.
No. 1
