| Description | Bob Ely calls himself “a jerk,” and he's running for president.
On Tuesday, he'll be listed as a Democratic candidate on New Hampshire's presidential primary ballot, but in the meantime, he said, he won't kiss babies, glad hand or give “rousing speeches full of vapid platitudes.
“If that's important to you,” Ely said, “vote for someone else.”
His campaign fliers were mailed during the past two weeks to 145,000 New Hampshire voters, including those in Portsmouth. On the front he asked, “Hey, primary voter ... Are you angry enough to vote for a jerk?” On the reverse, Ely stated, “A jerk who will put people to work, raise taxes, slash spending, to pound our economy back into shape.” |
