Sen. Rand Paul Joins President Emperor Caesar, Sydneys Voluptuous Buttocks In 2016 Race

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — When Sen. Rand Paul announced his intention to run on Tuesday, you might have thought he and Sen. Ted Cruz were part of a small group of candidates who have declared less than 19 months ahead of November's election.

But the Federal Elections Commission says otherwise.

According to its records, Paul would become the 223rd candidate to join the 2016 race for president. And he's far from the first Republican to join the race. Josue Larose of Deerfield Beach Florida filed his intent to run a month after then Sen. Barack Obama won the 2008 election.

Of the candidates running, there may be a few that can be written off. While past experience in Roman politics may be important to some, it's not likely President Emperor Caesar will advance far in the Democratic primary. it's not for lack of trying, though. Caesar has run in 2008 and 2012, as well as the super-secret hidden 2011 presidential election.

And then there are the independent candidates like Sydneys Voluptuous Buttocks. The Syd Buttocks Committee filed for candidacy just last month in New York, and the signature of "Sidneys Buttocks" appears on the form right above the line saying "Submission of false, erroneous, or incomplete information may subject the person signing this statement to penalties ..." While the candidate's site is fairly sparse, the candidate has laid out a firm anti-war stance.

The entire list can be found below, and is kept up to date on the FEC's site.
