who is walter williams?

Ok, Bruce Tinsley (Mallard Fillmore) is pushing hard for Walter Williams for President. Who the hell is Walter Williams?

Google and Wiki are no help, the name is too common. I am guessing it could be the libertarian/conservative Economist?

If so, he seems to have less chance at the Nomination than I do.

Yep, that’s probably who he’s talking about.

Tinsley seems to see Williams as a conservative Barack Obama. I started to explain why he might think the two men are equally appealing, but I saw Joe Biden’s shadow, and I deleted that stuff. Walter Williams’s web site is in the Mallard Fillmore strip, and that might clear things up, maybe, possibly.

What’s wrong with him? Is it because he’s not a big name?

He’s never held political office, and he’s way too libertarian.

Anyone who doesn’t already have a campaign organization in several states is a lost cause. It’s too late to start from scratch, even if you have a lot of scratch.

As far as I can tell, other than in Tinsley’s mind, William’s not actually running for office.

Williams is a regular guest host for Rush Limbaugh.
