Wow, that guy's still alive? I think the funniest part about his site is down near the bottom of the page on the left. "0 Americans for Dio." Not a promising start...

Finally a candidate I can wholeheartedly endorse. He shines through our current gloom like a rainbow in the dark. Sadly, when it comes to media coverage, he's last in line. Oh well, when you listen to fools, the mob rules.

I knew this would get your attention, jonmc.

Hmmm, I noticed Anil is backing him. Perhaps this is Ben and Mena's stealth candidate sent in to screw up the Democratic field so that Mena can win the White House in 2008?

This is the best of all the things on the web. But it better not be some hipster joke, or if it is, those hipsters better finish what they started, because I want to see the rest of those pages.

It appears that they live at 123 Any Street in San Francisco, if you want to give them a piece of your mind.

I don't see what the big deal is. She's cute and has a nice voice, but "Thank You" and "White Flag" are propelling her into the void of adult contemporary from which nobody ever returns.

*blinks *

oh, Dio.
Never heard of him.

Yer one of those New Wave people, aren't you?

If Dio gets elected, I want Vivian Campbell to be Ireland's next Prime Minister.

"Rob Halford wants it, so it's cool with me."

He's got my vote.

Dio will live forever on Silver Mountain, which is not in the States, so I don't believe he's eligible.

But he does have a street named after him in Cortland, NY.

Hooooooly crap. Curiouser and curiouser. Next thing you know Gary Coleman and even porn stars will be running for public office. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

FYI: The counter for me said "666 Americans for Dio"... heeeey, waitadamnsecond.

ACK! I'VE BEEN MARKED! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!!

I heard that if you play that website backwards, you get a message telling you to vote Republican...

Oh, and those rumours about him being Canadian? They're probably confusing him with Donnie James Rio.

I'm surprised that no one has pointed out yet how even though Dio has rocked for a long, long time, now it's time for him to pass the torch.

"He shines through our current gloom like a rainbow in the dark. Sadly, when it comes to media coverage, he's last in line."

For all the coverage that the good Reverend has been getting in the mainstream press, he could be, be, be. Invisible. It's time for this campaign to ride the tiger. He's been down too long in the midnight sea.

I met Dio once. He looks like an elf.

Well, he was in Elf after all.
