Phil Davison, above, who has a master’s degree in communication, eventually lost the Republican nomination to become Stark County, Ohio’s Stark County treasurer.

When one of his friends told him that the video of his speech “had gone viral,” apparently he asked, “What does that mean; am I sick?”

I’m guessing Mr. Davison is glad he lost (and that he’s not sick), since he’s been bombarded with media requests.   (It’s not as if the person who won the nomination has been interviewed by the BBC or Good Morning America.)

With all the free airtime to broadcast his political views, he’s probably the first person in history who has a higher chance of winning a state senate seat than a party nomination to become the treasurer of Stark County, Ohio.

Hopefully, he can figure out a way to transfer his Internet celebrity to a paying job before this meme loses steam.  Otherwise, all those fair use artists are going to beat him to it:
