He's a great orator and although he tends to lean a little too heavily on the religious stuff he's at least been rhetorically on the right side of many issues. The fact that he was running in the People's Party was also a plus as far as I was concerned; fuck the duopoly.
Then he left the People's Party, became a Green, then hired Peter Fucking Daou?!? No wait, he left the Greens too, Daou quits, and now he's an independent with even less ballot access than he had as a Green and no visible plan for how he could possibly win the presidency.
The whole process was, ah, uninspiring shall we say. I got the impression of someone severely lacking in organization and strategy who apparently believed he could simply coast in on name recognition alone.
It didn't help that he began sniping at people who had been supporters like Jimmy Dore and the folk at RBN. Then he even turned on Peter Daou and Jill Stein but not with anything specific... just vague statements about them being "untrustworthy" or the like.
There was more too but all that mess was enough to convince me he wasn't the one and these days I rarely hear anyone mention him out in the wild so I presume others have reached a similar conclusion.
Ah, well. Who the fuck else is there to vote for?
