Here’s a story about Shawn O’Hara, a Mississippi man who has filed as a candidate for eight statewide offices: lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer, auditor, agriculture commissioner and insurance commissioner. He’s running for all of them at the same time.

O’Hara, 49, has run unsuccessfully in the past four gubernatorial races under various party labels. He also has run unsuccessfully for U.S. Senate and House and for mayor of Hattiesburg.

Evidently O’Hara gets only 1-2 percent of the vote every time he runs, but he refuses to give up. So he’s either determined or delusional, or maybe a little bit of both.
