I'm not sure having a presidential campaign that obviously isn't trying to get anyone elected is the best way to sell books, though.

I have a gut feeling that a lot of long-shot campaigns are more about publicity/book sales/speaking fees than a genuine desire to be elected.

To be fair to Istvan, I don't think his motive is primarily financial, since he is giving away a free Kindle version of his book.

Istvan doesn't seem to hurt for money if he can afford to live in the Bay Area, and he has a vineyard in Argentina.
