    Dude's on point for the most part--"Department of Peace" sounds pretty out there--but he doesn't have enough support yet among the general public to pull any of these things off. I'd been interested to hear how he'd approach some of these initiatives though...

    From where does this guy get all his money? It seems like every election cycle, he makes a comedically ill-fated run at the White House. Doing so a couple times I can understand. But how does he have the cash flow to basically light a gigantic pile of money on fire every four years?

    He's got a lot of grassroots support (and my primary vote this time as last).

    But to play devil's advocate, how much $$$ does it REALLY take to pull in 2-3% in a few primaries? Relatively speaking, not a fortune -- especially with much of the labor being donated.
