We all know that Mitt Romney's going to secure the Republican nomination, but if the choice between Obama and Mitt doesn't do it for you, it might be time to look into a new candidate. These also-rans and assorted weirdos are angling for the top job in the United States, and even though they don't have a snowball's chance in Hell of victory they still have a lot of things to tell us. Let's give them their fifteen minutes of fame right now, shall we?

If you're a New Yorker, you probably know Robert John Burck better as the Naked Cowboy. The briefs-wearing singer has been a Times Square icon for decades, which is a little sad. He recently announced his intentions to challenge Barack Obama at the polls in 2012 as a representative of the Tea Party movement, that grassroots group of frustrated honkies who think that social welfare is a mug's game. Burck claims that capitalism is America's most cherished institution and it needs to be protected from the liberal scum that would besmirch it. Maybe he can pick the Ultimate Warrior as his running mate.
