Rocky "The Democrat" Anderson has pulled out of the Peace and Freedom Party nomination race, despite having won the beauty contest primary back in June. My sense that he was just fucking around, trying to get the left flank of the Democratic Party to beg for him to come back, seems to have been correct. I was mildly for Stewart Alexander, until now.
Those who follow her Twitter feed know that Roseanne Barr, the 59-year-old actress and comedian, has been running for president for a year now. Originally, she promoted herself as the standard-bearer of the Green Party.
Now, her White House quest has taken a different turn. She announced Thursday that she will run for president on the Peace and Freedom Party ticket. Her running mate, Barr said in a news release, will be Cindy Sheehan, whose son,U.S. Army Spec. Casey Sheehan, was killed in Iraq in 2004. In August 2005, the Gold Star mother mounted a lonely antiwar protest outside President George W. Bush’s ranch in Crawford, Texas.
