Bill Wyatt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Wyatt is a liberal Republican and was a candidate for the 2004 Republican Presidential nomination. He is a 43-year-old t-shirt maker and father of three from California. Wyatt left the Democratic Party to become a Republican after Democrats voted for the war in Iraq, an action he saw as a betrayal. He hopes to have a greater voice as a member of the Republican Party.
Wyatt traveled 12,000 miles and spent an estimated $20,000 on his Presidential campaign[citation needed]. He managed to qualify for ballot status in New Hampshire, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and even the Democratic Primary ballot in Arizona[citation needed].
His early showings were disheartening but not surprising. He finished tenth in the New Hampshire primary with 0.23% of the vote (153 votes).
On Mini-Tuesday, Wyatt won just over 10% of the vote in Oklahoma. He also placed second in Missouri, where he gained 1,268 votes (1.03%). Wyatt also received 233 votes (0.10%) in the Arizona Democratic primary. He gained 4% of the vote in Louisiana, which is the last primary in which he appeared on the ballot.[citation needed]
