It was the second time the Yippies had nominated an ineligible candidate for the Presidency, following the nomination of a boar named Pigasus eight years prior. The organizers of the campaign staged a ticker-tape parade down a boulevard in Berkeley, California, with motorcycle police flanking a convertible limousine occupied by nobody. The campaign's slogans included "Because Nobody Is In Washington Right Now, Working For You", "Nobody's Perfect", and "Nobody Should Have Too Much Power". (en)
