Missed Connections

Jason Clark is running for governor of Colorado. And since he doesn't have a running mate, he's put an ad on Craigslist.

Clark, who currently serves as the president of the Aurora, CO investment firm Clark Brothers, forked over $25 for a to-the-point listing on the website, calling on average Coloradans to apply for the job, via the standard anonymous Craigslist email address. "There's a complete and total disconnect between politics and the people," Clark told TPM. "We're looking for fresh thinkers, new ideas, and new leadership. We want to invite everyone in."

Clark says he's gotten over 200 applicants, but none have been suitable.
