UPDATE: Like a case of herpes, Clay Chastain just won't go away. The wannabe write-in candidate for Kansas City mayor is planning to file another lawsuit to get on the March 22 ballot, according to KMBC. This comes just days after a judge ruled that Chastain didn't meet the requirements to run. Chastain is now claiming that the city attorney described him as a write-in candidate for the primary, but Chastain says he wasn't running in the primary. Uh, OK. Chastain thinks ... it doesn't matter what Chastain thinks. He's not going to be mayor.
Original Story (March 4): Clay Chastain, resident of the great state of Virginia, won't be the mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. This seems pretty simple, but Chastain, he of the never-ending campaign for light rail, tried to mount a write-in candidacy for mayor.
Jackson County Judge Edith Messina denied Chastain's bid for mayor because there was already a write-in slot on the February ballot. The people didn't want Chastain then (save for about 100 people), so why should he get a second chance now? So the March 22 runoff election will be Chastain-free.
Chastain told KMBC's Micheal Mahoney that he won't appeal -- but we probably haven't seen the last of him.
"I'm going back to the streets and do what I do best," Chastain said.
Uh, yeah. What you do best.

I can't believe this guy doesn't have anything better to do. Maybe he should hang out with the Phelps'?
