Will Chuck Baldwin, preacher and former Presidential candidate for the Constitution Party, run for the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Max Baucus?
Someone writing for the Wikipedia thinks that’s a possibility. The Wiki’s page on the 2014 Montana election for the U.S. Senate lists Baldwin as a “potential” candidate. His companion potentials are zany Rep. Krayton Kerns and, and this is really a stretch, former Rep. Denny Rehberg, a two-time Senate loser expected to cash in as a lobbyist next year.
The GOP nominee, of course, will be Rep. “Shutdown Steve” Daines. But mentioning Baldwin as a potential candidate is a nice touch, and the Wiki page is both a comprehensive survey of Montanans with potential senatorial ambitions, and a nicely constructed parody of a Wiki page for an election.
There’s a similar page for the 2014 Montana election for the U.S. House of Representatives.
I have no idea how long these pages have existed, or who brought them into existence. But I suspect they were authored by university types with droll senses of humor.
