254. i disagree
Doing the right thing when nobody else will is righteousness and not vanity. When eight people are watching a gang rape and one stops it, is this vain? Until another candidate will speak out against war crimes, crimes against humanity, lying a nation into war, scaring a nation into surrendering the bill of rights, etc, then he's the only shot. i hope i get the chance to be so vain someday.

And his relevance is much greater than more than a few of the other candidates in my opinion. He is there to raise the level of discourse and actually talk about the issues, which is more than i can say for the 'major' candidates. Without him, the debates would be reduced dangerously close to grunting and arm waving and 'i love america more than you, 9/11 9/11 9/11!'
