You’re proooobably aware that there is a presidential race afoot, but you may not be aware that there’s a new candidate running for President. Yep, Captain Obvious is running in the presidential race. I mean literally running. On foot.
Yep, the Captain is running through all fifty states plus Washington D.C. and has made a video for each and every one. If you visit CaptainObviousRunsForPresident.com you can check out his videos and hotel recommendations for each state. Looks like when he was in North Carolina he stayed in Asheville. Hey, I just visited Asheville!
