Vermin Supreme, a boot-wearing, pony-loving political satirist who runs for president every four years, placed fourth in New Hampshire's Democratic primary election and ultimately received more votes than Republican candidate Jim Gilmore.

Supreme got 256 votes Tuesday evening, finishing just behind former Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley, who attracted 619 votes despite dropping out of the race after the Iowa caucuses. Gilmore, the former Virginia governor and last-place finisher on the Republican side, received just 131 votes.

Sporting a boot on his head, Supreme is a fixture in New Hampshire politics, where he has run for president seven times. In a recent interview with FOX25 News, he described the four planks of his platform:

JEB gets to share his 4th place win with this guy.....

Joke is on JEB, Vermin Supreme did not spend anywhere near 32 Million dollars on his 4th place "win"

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Vermin is the most honest Democrat in that he reveals who they really are “Demon-Rats”.

I’ll bet he’s better than Sanders, Hillary and O’Malley (aka “Two and a Half Reds”).

[Tilted Irish Kilt]

Dang !
I thought Harold Stasson was running again !
O'Malley is the Harold Stasson of today .

On the Dem side I thought Vermin Supreme came in 2nd.

Any news on how many votes “Deez Nuts” got????

His four planks:

1) Mandatory tooth-brushing laws ("Gingivitis has been eroding the gumline of this great nation of ours for long enough and must be stopped.");

2) Time travel research ("I'm the only candidate who is willing to fully fund time travel, go back in time and kill baby Hitler with my bare hands before he's even born.");

3) Zombie preparedness ("I am the only candidate who has a plan to protect America from the imminent zombie invasion and I will be harnessing the awesome power of zombies to create electric energy utilizing the latest in giant hamster wheel technology."); and

4. Free ponies for all Americans ("A federal pony identification system and you must have your pony with you at all times.").

“I’ll have the Vermin Supreme, with curly fries and a Diet Coke, please.”

[Flick Lives]

Probably more than Gilmore. ;-)

[Rurudyne]

Reminds me of an old Bloom County cartoon where a Mondale delegate wanders into the Meadow Party by mistake and asks what they’ve got to run against Reagan. When told, IIRC, it was a hobo and a dead cat he shrugs and goes on in.

I swear I thought this was about Hillary, and I thought she did a little better than fourth, so I read this.

[ExCTCitizen]

Vermin Supreme? That could be the name of the Sanders/Clinton ticket...

[SaraJohnson]

Vermin is the most honest Democrat in that he reveals who they really are “Demon-Rats”.
