I’m just a fan of XKCD and like this campaign approach. ---

It’s all the more ironic, given Mr. Tevis’ campaign promise to reduce public funds for higher math education. Just kidding, I don’t know the guy’s policies. What would be _really_ cool is if he had a publicity photo of himself wearing goggles and a red cape. And wielding a katana. While defending chicks showering with their guitars, from velociraptors. Yeah, I’d vote for that. ---

PZ Myers is also campaigning for him, [sorta](http://scienceblogs.com/pharyngula/2008/07/strangely_i_find_myself_wishin.php). ---

Heh, that’s pretty cool. Also, it doesn’t hurt that the guy he’s running against appears to be the love child of Dwight Schrute and Baron Vladimir Harkonnen. ---

You only have to look at his picture to realize he’ll be governor in eight years… I’m not donating to his campaign, though. 1. I don’t live in Kansas, and 2. His stance on immigration is silly. Not that I don’t agree with most of the rest of his platform, but I’m sure as hell not donating to a campaign that doesn’t affect me if I don’t agree with all of it.
