Matt Labash: John Cox the Sane Fringe Candidate

The Weekly Standard on the Jay's chips guy's run to be the GOP's candidate for 2008,

Cox, 51, is a self-made man. He finished college in two and a half years "because I was paying for it," he says, adding, "My daughter finished in five years--because I was paying for it." He later went on to start several businesses: a law/accounting firm, an investment advisory firm, a real estate management company, and a venture capital firm. In the mid-'90s, he led a group that purchased the Jays Foods potato chip manufacturer, sparing more than 600 local jobs and taking it from a $17-million loss to a $3-million profit in less than a year.
As father of two at NIU Cox just scored a point with me.

Jon Cox would of made a great Recorder of Deeds. He is much more moral and competent than Eugene Moore. I am not sure why the Republicans didn't try to do more in this race.

Cox is very intelligent and articulate.
