1. You've compiled quite a list of winners there
But I think that the Republican candidate for governor of my state wins the prize... :crazy: x(

3. You mean this guy:
Jimmy McMillan. He's just entertaining, speaks in rhyme, LOL. And he's not crazy, the rent is too damn high! ;)

5. My first comment was about the tea partier.
But I couldn't help throwing in the extra line about rent just for fun.

7. That's Carl Paladino, and he really is crazy.
He's the one who sent racist and bestiality e-mails and threatened to "take out" a reporter whom he felt dissed him. And then he made that hateful speech about homosexuality, when it turns out he owns gay bars. I read an article earlier that said the Republicans don't even like him. How he got the nomination is totally beyond me... x(

As for "the rent is too high" guy, he certainly lightens the mood. :)

9. Richard Iott, running for Congress in Ohio.
He dresses up in a Nazi SS uniform and does reenactments. I thought of him, too... x( :crazy:

10. I gotta go with Ken Buck.
He's pissed off women, gays (and alcoholics), students, doctors, Hispanics, environmentalists, teachers, honest attorneys, constitutional scholars, the state supreme court, the US Attorney's office, senior citizens, the sick, the poor, and veterans. He sucks as a DA, he'd be a frigging nightmare in the Senate. He's a licensed attorney, yet he's "not sure" that Social Security and Medicare are constitutional. And he doesn't know if we should close the Medicare D 'donut hole.' And he wants to repeal the Healthcare legislation. He likes to prosecute dog poo, but he's no good at that, either. So of course the Tea Party loves him, along with the rest of the GOP.

I'm sick of him and his cronies trying to turn my homeown into their own little fascist enclave. Guess you could say he's pissed me off, too. Frankly, he's beyond batshit crazy.

14. It's odd that
I've heard so little about him. I would have included him in the poll.

11. Has there ever in the history of
mid-term elections ever been this many candidates that are so off the wall, batshit crazy, extremists in your memory. I'm sure there have been - but, this many and during the same cycle?

Me thinks there is some serious mental disorder going around.

12. Sorry, they are ALL bad - I cannot limit myself to just one choice.
And even though she still affiliates herself with the R party, Michelle Bachmann's name is not up there. If it were, I think that I'd have to go with her.
