My buddy Collin over at ArmchairTalkingHead has already written about it, but Winston County native Mark “Rodeo Clown No NCAA No War” Townsend is running for senator as a Democrat. Or, at least he was, until Mobile businesswoman Vivian Figures destroyed him (and, to be fair, the other candidate as well) in the primaries on Tuesday. However, that will not deter Mr. Townsend from from running. On his website, entitled sessionsisasissy.com, which also features his campaign manager “Sexy” Rexy Robbins (a former Bear Creek Phillips Bears kicker who could kick the ball further than anyone who ever lived, and former Haleyville Lion popcorn vendor turned Deshler Tiger fanatic), a challenge to Senator Charles Bishop to fight, and a complete hatred of the NCAA (ok, 1 out of 3 ain’t bad), Townsend says he will run as an independent in November. Frankly, this has awesome potential, and considering his strong showing in Winston County (where he is from, and where he won with a whopping 60 votes), he may have a shot at garnering 15% of the vote this time.

You’ve got to love a man who wears overalls in his official campaign photo…

I totally agree. Really draws the rural demographic that’s so important in Alabama.
If he ran on a campaign that said that all SEC games will forever be on CBS with Verne Lundquist calling them, even after dead (we can get the technology to use his voice and a CGI representation by the time that happens 50 years from now or so, assuming he or Keith Jackson actually die), I’ll vote for him for President.
