Sal Mohamed Gets Namedropped on MSNBC

There’s a lot of big news out of New Hampshire today, but one I didn’t expect to hear about — even during the time-filling that happens on cable news — was Sal Mohamed, Iowa’s hometown hero. Constitutionally ineligible to actually be president, Mohamed is on the New Hampshire Democratic primary ballot today.

Mohamed did not win a single precinct in Iowa, let alone a single delegate. But he still earned a mention on MSNBC today, when Dan Abrams listed a few of the unknown candidates who are also on the ballot.

Perhaps Sal’s rather lackluster presidential campaign has really been a strategy for building name identification in a strategically important state for next time. That would explain it.
