A few excerpts (there are 19 total). I'm totally going to add "oldest 3rd party" to my trivia repertoire.

Jack Fellure Wikimedia Commons
Fellure is a perennial candidate from West Virginia who has run for president as a Republican since 1988. This year, he switched his affiliation after winning the nomination of the anti-booze Prohibition Party, the country's oldest active third party. Fellure's platform is the Authorized 1611 King James Bible, the "supreme constitution and absolute authority in the affairs of all men for all time and eternity." He seeks to protect the nation from a New World Order takeover orchestrated by "atheists, Marxists, liberals, queers, liars, draft dodgers, flag burners, dope addicts, sex perverts, and anti-Christians."

And this guy wins for the most patriotic name ever.

Jefferson Howard Taft Davis

In addition to sharing a name with Jefferson Davis and William Howard Taft, Davis says that he's distantly related to George Washington, John Adams, James Madison, James Monroe, Martin Van Buren, Zachary Taylor, Franklin Pierce, Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, Grover Cleveland, Herbert Hoover, Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, the Roosevelts, and the Bushes. His platform: Pushing a world peace treaty, entering the United States into the EU, and shutting down the IRS.
