WRITE-IN: Diary of a Congressional Candidate in Florida's Fourth Congressional District

Originally published as a recurring feature at the McSweeney’s website, Richard Grayson’s diary wryly chronicles the hopeless 2004 campaign of an emo-loving vegetarian fiction writer, the sole opponent to a right-wing incumbent in Florida’s most Republican congressional district. Supporting socialized medicine, abortion rights, gay marriage and immediate withdrawal from Iraq, write-in Democrat Grayson jokes his way through a quixotic campaign to wind the hearts and minds of those North Florida voters who possess hearts and minds. “A fascinating diary.” - Stephen Elliott
