Around SBN: Indy 500: Coverage of the 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing'

He's polling a whopping 2%. "James' vanity candidacy is a reminder that not all publicity is good publicity. James isn't the pretty girl in the bar. He's the guy who walks into a bar where all the women are friends with his ex."

At least he doesn't let the fact that most people do not like him stand in his way of loving himself.

2% is awfully high for Craig James. The only way

to explain it must be due to the margin of error.

That is funny

I liked how they said they thought it was high too. And that James has good name recognition, but it is almost all unfavorable. What a db.

And if you visit his campaign website

Here, and page down, you’ll see this:

Ha! You’d think someone would catch on and take it down…hilarious.

If a man is alone in the woods and he speaks, if no one hears him,,is he still wrong?

I'm sure he thinks it is one of his fans

I wonder if he got any money from those pony express boosters…

Craig James

never denied that he was a HOOKER KILLER while attended SMU.

It's all good.

"Vanity candidacy" is exactly the right term

It seems like there are always guys who think so highly of themselves that they imagine others will have the same opinion, and it’s a comical delusion that outsiders can enjoy watching. I remember when Fred Phelps predicted a landslide victory in the Kansas gubernatorial primaries in 1998, but only managed about 15%. Tom Sawyer, the guy who beat him with 82% of the vote, didn’t even get 25% of the vote in the general election. Of course as a half-Kansan, I’m still embarrassed that over 15,000 people voted for Phelps in the primaries.

Craig James entered this campaign to stroke his ego, and he’s going to have to delude himself even more to come out of it without a severely bruised ego.

"Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'"

Don't worry about his ego

Deluding himself is apparently the one (and only) thing Craig James is good at.
