Competing for the title of lowest-ranking Democratic candidate, Carol Moseley Braun formally launches 2004 presidential bid. People across the country responded by saying, “huh?”
Seriously, she’s only like one percentage point above Al Sharpton in the Democratic polls.

Why would you go through the hassle of running for an office that you know there’s nearly no chance of your winning?
