We at The Right’s Field have been remiss to note the announcement of three other Republican presidential candidates. We apologize for the delay and will now give you information that you probably won’t get anywhere else.
Michael Charles Smith (Oregon)
http://www.smithforpresident.com/
Michael Smith is a Hewlett-Packard employee, having gotten his MBA five years ago. He has never held a public office. He is running the One State Strategy (I’m not joking), hoping to do well enough in his home state of Oregon to go to the Republican National Convention as a delegate. Smith’s site has a blog, which is really authored by the candidate himself (no shocker there). Smith officially filed his candidacy in March 2006. MC Smith passes the Mike Gravel Test, as he has a wikipedia entry on him. A Google News search returns one article referencing him.
Richard Michael Smith (Texas)
http://www.rmsmith2008.com/
Michael Smith is an employee of RadioShack. Smith has never held a public office, though he is active in his church community. His defining qualification for office, it seems, is that he shook hands with Ronald Reagan in 1987. RM Smith announced his candidacy in April of 2006, but a Google News search on him fails to return any articles. Sadly, Smith fails the Mike Gravel Test – there is no wikipedia entry on him.
James Shurm Stewart Jr. (Virginia)

I have no clue who Stewart is. His website returns “Not Found: The requested URL / was not found on this server.” There is no wikipedia entry on him, so he fails the Mike Gravel Test. There have been no news articles on him on Google News in any permutation of his name. How do I even know he’s a candidate? He’s listed in the wikipedia entry for potential Republican presidential candidates, which says he announced his candidacy in January 2007. As far as I can tell, that announcement came in the GOP candidate wikipedia entry.
I don’t know that any of these three candidates will ever merit mention again on this blog, outside of purely humorous contexts. If other candidates whose chances hinge on successful terrorist attacks on successive rounds of Republican presidential debates emerge, we’ll be sure to eventually mention them here too.

[...] Other Candidates [...]
According to Politics1 — Here are some more “other candidates.”
Dr. Hugh Cort from Alabama who, apparently, lost his bid for Congress in the 48th District (campaign website).
Politics1 says:
STATUS: ANNOUNCED CANDIDATE. Hugh Cort — a psychiatrist, fundamentalist Christian, and 2006 GOP primary candidate for Alabama State Representative (last place – 6%) — touts himself as someone who has “spent years researching terrorism sources.” His main campaign issue centers around the war on terrorism. On other issues, he supports constitutional amendments to ban abortion and ban gay marriage, describes himself as “pro-business” and is against higher federal taxes. Related links: Cort for President (offical campaign site), Stop Doomsday (Cort’s anti-terrorism website), and Cort for State Representative (official 2006 campaign site).
Michael Jesus Archangel is best described as “delusional” and his “website” may support that conclusion.
More here.
Yet, Jesus Archangel’s site is still better than Ron Paul’s.
[...] Left off the ballot: Congressman Tom Tancredo (CO), Congressman Duncan Hunter (CA), Congressman Ron Paul (TX), John H. Cox (IL), and “The Other Candidates.” [...]
Something to say?
The Smiths do, however, have better websites than a one Ron Paul.
