From Wikipedia:

William Rivers Pitt was born in Washington, D.C., and lived several years in Alabama (where his father, Charles Redding Pitt, served as chair of the state Democratic Party) before eventually moving to Boston.

He was educated in English literature at Holy Cross College, a Catholic college in Massachusetts, and after graduation spent two years in San Francisco doing law-related work.

Formerly, Pitt taught English literature, journalism, grammar, and history at a small private school outside Boston. He set aside teaching in 2003 and became a full-time professional writer.

In January 2004, Pitt took over for David Swanson as the Press Secretary for Dennis Kucinich, who was seeking the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2004 presidential election.

Following his involvement in the Kucinich campaign, Pitt decided to push his career in teaching to the side in order to focus on political activism. As a result, he joined the staff of Progressive Democrats of America in 2005 as their Editorial director.

=======================================

He's a very interesting man.
Might he run as a third-party candidate?
Remember Ross Perot? He managed to split the two parties for a bit. Is Pitt another Perot?
