Wes must have found some sort of way to profit off the campaign. Probably getting a 'consultation fee' by some satellite org. of the Democratic party.

Just before he ran in the primaries, I recall seeing him on TV giving interviews as a paid spokesman for some company that manufactured bicycles. He was giving a heartfelt, passionate pitch about how the u.s. military really needed these special bicycles for the Iraq war and that they should order enormous quantities of the special bikes. Shortly after this I was shocked to see him declare that he was running for president.

I never heard anything else about the special bikes. I just googled this to make sure I was correct and yes, here's a link to the story of Wes, the Bicycle Warrior -

Here's an excerpt - "But some military analysts doubt that the electric bicycles will fit into American war planning."
