The American Independent Party of California, in convention, nominated me today for the office of President of the United States. This gives us the 2012 presidential ballot line.

My thanks to all who participated in the process, and to presidential candidates Wiley Drake and Virgil Goode, both of whom were present and who graciously released their delegates in order to make the final vote a unanimous one.

Why don’t you spend your time actually promoting a candidate(s) that will win?? Presidential/House/Senate. All you are doing is pulling votes away from RR and giving Obama a greater chance to pull through.

I wouldn't worry too much. I doubt the half dozen or so of folks planning on voting for Eternal Vigilance even know where their polling place is.

The three other potential candidates were Virgil Goode, Wiley Drake, and Edward Noonan.

All of those candidates have military experience. Hoefling does not claim any in the biography on his site.

Goode was also a congressmen for several terms. Noonan has run for office several times, in one case getting over 1% of the vote in a large field against Boxer. Drake has prayed for the demise of Obama.

They all seem to have been more qualified to run for president than Hoefling whose experience seems limited to issues advocacy. He might have the right views, but he has no experience in turning those views into legislation, or running a city, state, or country on those views.

I still believe that all conservatives in solid blue states like California should vote en bloc for the Green Party candidate. The Greens have a slim, but not negligible, chance of getting 5% of the popular vote nationwide. If they do then they might start siphoning off some of the true believers from the Democrat Party.

This is not an election for symbolic voting. Voting for Romney in California is throwing away your vote. Obama has California in the bag. But if enough people vote for the Green Party then the Democrats will have one more thing to worry about.

That would be because of the two candidates that “can win,” neither is good for America and thus are unacceptable for my vote.

And Tom Hoefling couldn't run a hot dog stand. The only thing he's succeeded at in his life was by some miracle to convince the GOP that carpetbagging, muppet-faced Alan Keyes was somehow a formidable choice in the 2004 Illinois Senate race, --a race that resulted in such a devastating landslide loss that the winner, Barack Obama, couldn't help but think, "Wow! This election was so easy maybe I ought to run for President!"

Wouldn't be cheaper and easier just to send their campaign money directly to Obama? Why fool around with a middleman?

There are plenty of others to write in if I become convinced he cannot meet muster. The candidate from either party is not on that list; they are both too bad for America.

I hope they introduce his appearances as is customary:

"Ladies and Gentelemen, the NEXT President of the United States!"
