Dig down into the dregs of any primary or list of minor party candidates and you can find some amusingly crazy people.
One of my favorites was the late Frank Vondersaar, who won the 2002 Alaska Democratic Primary for US Senate despite being a quite obviously unmedicated paranoid schizophrenic. (Many liberal AK voters seem to have gone for the official Green party candidate, Jim Sykes, or held their noses and voted for the late great Tubologist, Ted Stevens.)
