a quixotic candidate dream team

Fans of quixotic candidates: the 2008 primary edition, Part I is now available. A sample:

Goodspaceguy Nelson, Congress, District 7
Charm Rating: 8
Most Appealing Feature: A love of space colonization that would make him change his first name to "Goodspaceguy."
Tone: Astral
Biggest Flaws: "Birth control" spectacles; being born outside our solar system
The Campaign in a Sentence: "Goodspaceguy wants more people studying at our colleges during the underutilized evenings and weekends."

Read about 'em before they're knocked out by our "Top Two" system.

Update: Part II, bursting with cranky freshness.
