The current primary coverage has reminded me about my favorite political anecdote, told four years ago to Joel Stein by former Republican candidate Tom Tancredo:
In 2008, as now, the Ron Paul campaign attracted a pretty eccentric crowd. People would show up at campaign events in Revolutionary War getup, Guy Fawkes masks, or bikinis—and of course there was the famous Ron Paul blimp. After a debate in New Hampshire, one of Tancredo’s staffers saw a guy standing around in a shark costume. “Are you a Ron Paul supporter?” asked the staffer.
“No,” replied the shark. “Those people are crazy. I’m just a guy in a shark suit.”
