Vampire runs for Governor in Minnesota

Leave it to Minnesota to have some of the wackiest gubernatorial races in the nation. There are no professional wrestlers in the race yet, but there is a satanic vampire who has thrown his hat in the ring. The Star Trib picks up the story:

Take a gander at Jonathon (The Impaler) Sharkey, who will launch his gubernatorial campaign in Princeton, Minn., on Friday the 13th as a "satanic dark priest" and the leader of the "Vampyres, Witches and Pagans Party."

I don't know how well received Sharkey will be by Minnesota Lutherans, but if a satanic vampire can win anywhere, it would be Minnesota. We probably shouldn't laugh too hard, though. He plans to run for President in '08.
