With respect, being a candidate for office and holding no other offices makes me think this gentleman doesn't meet the notability guidelines. I see that he has had 2 prior afds (1 delete in 2007, 1 no consensus after a new article was created in 2011), but I don't even think that the 'perpetual also-ran' angle is sufficient in this case (would need to be many more attempts, IMO).

This article has been on Wikipedia for many times and the individual is a notable individual who has been in newspapers worldwide and has been stated as a "notable person" many times previously. There is no reason to remove an article that gains at least 400 views per thirty day time period. There is no reason to remove the article and because of his "Playgirl" and "New York Times" coverage as well as "The Daily Show" coverage the individual has clearly met notability standards under the Wikipedia guidelines. The article is also noteworthy as a"person" and not only as a politician who is a "perpetual candidate". The man is notable and the article has been on Wikipedia since 2007 and not just 2011 as stated above. The article should be kept as informational and notable. It does also seem that some of the same names are not only on this debate but on the previous debate from 2011 and seems suspect. I agree that the article subject does meet the general notability guidelines and is noteworthy. this text was added previously by junglejamm below, and unsigned.

*Keep I have read and reread the arguments fom 2011 and even 2007 and the article was not new in 2011 and had been on Wikipedia for a number of years drawing hundreds of views a month. The subject was in the New York Times and on Hard Copy, Today and the Daily Show and on the BBC etc and the only sock puppetry seems to be inane argument trying to get people to say delete the article. I find the google news search to be very informative and maybe the individual will win office some time. Continuing to relist the argument is really pushing te limits of decency and fairness.
