Vidal has actually run for political office twice. He ran in New York for Congress in 1960 and in 1982 he ran in California for the Senate. He managed to get half a million people to vote for him in the primary. Go figure.

Buckley ran for Mayor of New York in the 60's. I still have his book, "The Unmaking of a Mayor."

Gore Vidal has also been active in liberal politics. In 1960 he ran unsuccessfully for the US Congress as a Democratic-Liberal candidate in New York. Between 1970 and 1972 he was co-chairman of the left-leaning People's Party. In 1982 Vidal launched a campaign in California for the US senate. He came second out of a field of nine, polling half a million votes.
