See, if McAfee says the right things, I think he'd end up doing well - as well as a fringe/joke candidate could do. He's pro-gun and quite anti-government. If Trump can do it, why not McAfee?

And the scrolling seems off or hijacked in some way, on the "How to Vote" page, it's the digital equivalent of having your breaks cut.

Apparently the ultimate way now to show off how you have money to throw away (or other people's money to throw away) is to run for president.

It is the ultimate conspicuous consumption item.

Right, and his running mate will be Hans Reiser? Seriously, last I heard, the guy is pretty clearly a murderer. Or lunatic. Or both. http://memeburn.com/2013/01/john-mccafee-anti-virus-pioneer-... etc. etc.

AFAIK he was never really under suspicion. But being possibly paranoid he thought he was, and he didn't trust Belize justice system (and is possibly right about that).

I don't know what problem people have with him... Imagine he was serious about the campaign...

>He is a murderer

Well that is still not proven and the government of Belize is not exactly the most trustworthy entity about this, so in no way is it this clear. Even if it was true, let's face it - after their presidency, every former president is a murderer.

>He is a lunatic and insane

And Hillary Clinton is not?

>He is paranoid

Well at least he's more paranoid about the STATE than about the CITIZENS so that would sway things around a bit.

However, I'd love to hear his stance on abortion, gay marriage, etc. I presume he'd be quite liberal, again, a point for him.

But yeah, sadly, he doesn't even stand a chance.
