The campaign:
Raymond V. Liebenberg was a perennial candidate for various offices starting as early as 1964. A tree topper, chiropractor, naturalist, property developer, and WWII veteran, he had a long white beard and once described himself as "a hank of hair and a hunk of bone." His political career began in the Santa Cruz, Calif. area.
In 1980 he initially ran in at least one Democratic primary for President (Florida) in what he characterized as a "penniless campaign." But then he went on to the general election as an independent with Martha M. Hoglund of Baytown, Tex. as his running-mate. They were certified write-ins in California and Missouri and perhaps elsewhere.
