2008 Presidential Campaign
At the Reform Party's 2008 national convention, Frank McEnulty of California, the 2008 presidential candidate of the New American Independent Party, was nominated to be Weill's vice-presidential running-mate. However, the party could not announce the results of the national convention on its web site until October, due to a court order obtained by another faction of the party. The rebel faction also prevented Weill from appearing on the ballot in any of the states in which the party retained access, excluding Mississippi.
Therefore, the Weill/McEnulty ticket appeared on the ballot in only Mississippi and received only 470 votes in that state. He also received write-in votes in Alabama.

“Because of these convictions, I made a personal decision in the 1964 Presidential campaign to make education a fundamental issue and to put it high on the nation’s agenda. I proposed to act on my belief that regardless of a family’s financial condition, education should be available to every child in the United States—as much education as he could absorb.”
—Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973)
