>>Eugene Debs was the Presidential candidate for the socialist party in 1920, and won 3.4% of the vote while in jail. He was put there by Wilson a couple of years earlier for treason. It is a good story (in fact, his whole life is a good story)<<

Sam -

I know. It really is a great story.

If Debs had won, he would have been able to pardon himself, but only after being inaugurated.
