'Might as well': Local Democrat files for president

Ha! He might be my man. That's as good as Kinky Friedman's "why the hell not" and "how hard can it be" slogans when he ran for gov. of tx. I didn't post the entire article (because it was kind of boring) but it's from newsok.com:

Capitol Bureau
An Oklahoman joined the ranks today of those filing to be on the Feb. 5 presidential primary ballot in Oklahoma.
Jim Rogers of Midwest City filed papers to be on the ballot. He's a Democrat.

The retired high school and college teacher ran unsuccessfully in 2006 for lieutenant governor. He also ran for the U.S. Senate in 2002 and in 2004. He failed to win his party's nomination in any of his statewide campaigns.

"Might as well," Rogers said when asked why he joined the presidential sweepstakes. "Everybody else is." Rogers is the only one of the 18 candidates to show up at the State Election Board office in the state Capitol to file to be on the ballot. Filing, which started Monday, ends at 5 p.m.

Of course, the other candidates will file in other ways, like mailing-in their papers, of course.

Anybody remember seeing him on the street corner during this Senate campaign wearing a red sweatshirt with ghetto-looking iron-on letters?
