This guy is REALLY serious in his anti-abortion quest:

Via CBS:

(AP) A Senate candidate has legally changed his name to Pro-Life and will appear on the ballot that way this year, state election officials say.

As Marvin Pro-Life Richardson, the organic strawberry farmer from Letha, 30 miles northwest of Boise, was denied the use of his middle name when he ran unsuccessfully for governor in 2006 because the state's policy bars the use of slogans on the ballot.

Now, though, officials in the Idaho secretary of state's office say they have no choice because Pro-Life is his full and only name.

Well, a weird name is no reason to keep anyone off the ballot.

He says he will run for the highest state office on the ballot every two years for the rest of his life, advocating murder charges for doctors who perform abortions and for women who obtain the procedure.

Seriously? MURDER CHARGES? Now THAT'S a reason to keep him off the ballot. Or at least to not vote for him.

"If I save one baby's life, it's worth it."

Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight. Idaho still has the death penalty. Will this mean that he advocates sending the women who get abortions, along with their doctors to the firing squad? Is that worth it too?

This is the guy going for Larry Craig's senate seat. WTF, Idaho???

Listing order matters to voters. The A-Gs get many more votes for School Board than T-Z. That means people don't know who is whom or supporting what when going in. So I suspect a small minority of people will vote for this guy because of the name. I would say 2%.

It is like voting for Nader, except it will pull from the Republicans.

By the way, in well run elections they rotate the order so that As do not always come first each election. In North Carolina they allow nicknames. People get in weird names that way. If they are a IV, they usually have a nickname to offset it.

You've got to hand it to Idaho politicians. Whenever you think they couldn't possibly have found a better way to make normal Idahoans look like idiots, they take it the next level.

Prison Rape. It sounds tougher. That and you will have to explain to so many people what sodomy means.

I don't mind explaining so long as I'm allowed to do it in my own way, if you know what I mean.

"If I save one baby's life, it's worth it."

And what if that one baby grows up to become a doctor who performs abortions?
...

That's the sound of Marvin Pro-Life's brain melting.
