Ayers makes second run for presidency

North Carolina’s Tideland News profiles Bob Ayers, a retired civil engineer making his second run for the presidency. Ayers has also run for mayor of Swansboro, North Carolina, three times, and sought Democratic nominations for the U.S. House, U.S. Senate, and governor. Ayers “sees his run as affirmation that in America, anybody can — and should –run for office. And, he added, ‘I guess it’s ego, as much as anything.’”
