4. It went viral almost immediately
K.O., Rachel, and most of the MSNBC news and/or commentary shows ran the clip.

I shudder to think how the speech might have gone if this guy didn't have the benefit of that Master's in Communication! :rofl:

5. I seem to remember that he has a degree in communications and
a degree in sociology. Isn't sociology usually considered to be a "lefty thing"?

6. poor Stark County
I remember one year their DA was up for election and it had to have been the dirtiest, most expensive campaign ever for that office. We literally couldn't watch a show without seeing commercials about how shitty one or the other person was. Now they have this nutbag.

10. Actually they don't have him.
The local party wisely rejected his nomination.

18. I was wondering about why he kept talking about annexing Pennsylvania
local politics can get pretty weird sometime but this was incredible! I don't think I'd trust him with my money.

19. I'm afraid to look
The original was disturbing enough, and I can imagine what someone could do with it (Dwight on 'The Office,' perhaps?).

No, thanks. I like to keep my food down. :)

17. Makes me wonder if Glenn Beck is offering a video-correspondence course
in campaigning.

That would explain a LOT of this kind of crazy out there this season.

20. This guy has a masters degree....in Communications!!!...AND they are interviewing him
Sunday morning on Good Morning America.

I bet he will have people supporting him for President in a few years.He is, of course, a republican.

He ain't stupid, just unorthodox...
