Richard Mack, of Provo, left, speaks at a political rally on Tuesday, June 8, 2004, in Provo, Utah, that he organized as part of a new political reality show called "American Candidate" on Showtime. Mack, a Libertarian, was one of 12 contestants selected to participate in ``American Candidate''. Each of them kicked off their campaign Tuesday, after getting notice a day and a half earlier that they were to hold a kickoff rally. The two candidates with the lowest turnout wouldn't make it to the next round. (AP Photo/George Frey)
