Vacampationing

I wonder if I could pull off a free vacation every four years? It seems to me that I could declare that I'm running for President and start collecting donations. All I would have to do is say some things in person or in print that would get some demographic group all fired up enough to donate money to my campaign. Then file with the Federal Election Commission like 342 people have done this year.

It seems to me that I could be charming enough to solicit a few thousand dollars. Maybe enough to buy a modest RV, plaster some goofy slogan on it, then travel the country for a few months. I'm not saying that's what this guy in the picture did, but out of 342 people, I'm guessing there are one or two who are just in it for the cash.

I'm thinking Hawaii should get covered pretty heavily on the campaign trail.
