Vermin Supreme, who declared himself "Emperor of the New Millennium", is the self-described "friendly fascist" who - running on a platform of mandatory dental hygiene, zombie power and a pony for everyone - came in third in the 2012 New Hampshire Democratic primary. The political satirist and performance artist racked up 829 votes for 1.4 percent of the vote, just 117 votes less than environmentalist Ed Cowan, who was the runner-up to incumbent president Barack Obama.The perennial candidate (who thew his headgear into the ring in 1992 and 2008 though some sources claim his first run was in 1988) wears a distinctive outfit of lime green jacket and multiple neck ties while on the stump. He often sports a green plastic Hulk fist holding an American flag as a cod piece.What is most distinct about Vermin Supreme's appearance is his headgear: a large black rubber boot known as a wader. In 2008, he was topped by a buckle-up boot known as galoshes.) His campaign slogan is, "A vote for me is a vote truly wasted."With the Democratic field again wide open in 2016, Vernon Supreme's horizons are endless. Makers of oral hygiene products, generators of zombie energy and breeders of ponies will rejoice. Show less «
