Reminds me of Reps on the GOP side like John Schmitz, Pete McCloskey and


John Anderson, all congressional presidential aspirants who were more gadflies than serious candidates. (Yes, I know Anderson actually ran as an independent later on.)

Schmitz was an interesting character. A John Bircher whose political positions were just to the right of Atilla the Hun, he had seven children in his marriage to a woman known as the "west coast Phyllis Schlafly" and two other children resulting from an affair with another woman. One of his seven kids was the infamous Mary Kay Letourneau. Somebody should write a book!
