The campaign:
Florida resident Isabell Masters, age 87, had become an expected perennial President candidate, quite possibly holding the record for number of times a woman has made the run that office. In 1992 her running-mate was her son Walter, in 1996 her VP was her daughter Shirley. Now in 2000 her ticket was completed with another daughter, Alfreda. That in itself must another one for the record books.
Masters' 2000 campaign was much quieter than previous efforts and she was almost completely ignored by the media. She did not obtain ballot status in any state in this round, but was a certified write-in candidate in Kansas and Maryland. In the latter state she ran as a Republican.
Isabell would run one last time for President in 2004 at age 91. But before that she ran as a write-in for Mayor of West Palm Beach, Fla. in 2003.

Notes:
Alfreda was a regular supporting player in the General Hospital soap opera for many years.
