Doug Stanhope Throws in the Towel

Posted in Doug Stanhope, Election 08 on June 7th, 2007 by RottingNation

After a long time without updates from the Stanhope campaign, the worst fears of his supporters have finally been proven true:  Doug Stanhope is giving up on his presidential bid.  The StanhopeForPresident website cites FEC rules as one of the main reasons for his abrupt resignation:

The Federal Election Commission proved insurmountable in their spiderweb of legal fingerfucking. The idea that I could run an effective campaign rested on the fact that I tour constantly for a living and have a built-in audience and media wherever I go. FEC rules would not allow for me to campaign at paid gigs while also retaining a personal income from those shows.

If I can’t recruit from my shows, I’m about as effective as standing on a milk crate in the city park.

He continued to say that his main intention for the campaign was to bring media attention to the Libertarian Party and that he will continue to do that through his live shows.

Man, I just really feel bad for this poor, poor, girl.  In case you can’t tell, that’s a ‘Doug Stanhope in 2008′ tattoo on her shoulder!!!

digg it
