Phil Davison, GOP Candidate, FREAKS OUT Trying To Sell Candidacy (VIDEO)

Produced by Eyes and Ears 2010, The Huffington Post's Citizen Journalism Unit devoted to midterm election coverage. To join the team, click here:

Councilman Phil Davison of Minerva, Ohio made a fiery speech at Wednesday evening's Stark County Republican Party's executive committee meeting to select a nominee to run for Stark County treasurer.

Davison rocked the assembly at Malone University's Johnson Center with his impassioned political presentation the likes of which few politically involved citizens have ever seen.

While Davison did not get the nomination (North Canton Finance Director Alex Zumbar did), he certainly made a lasting impression.

Crack? Too much caffeine? It is a relief to see that there is finally someone so weird that the Republicans won't nominate him. He comes across like Spartacus with Tourette's Syndrome.

I'm sorry for my earlier snarky comment.

I don't know anything about this man and it is quite possible he suffers from a nervous disorder or something.

He spoke with passion and I was wrong to make fun of him.

He obviously earned all those degrees at the Basil Fawlty School of Public Relations. O.o

The worst part is people will vote for this guy because of his "passion" or "conservative values". Definitely in need of some counseling.
