I have no choice tidbits handy, but you might enjoy Naomi Kritzer's election blogging, both the very local stuff (like Soil and Water Commissioner and local board of education) and then out from there to mayor, congress, and presidential primaries.
Naomi's write-up of the thirty-five (35) candidates for mayor of Minneapolis several years ago was impressive: it seemed clear that at least a few of them thought it was worth the $25 filing fee to get a little bit of attention for their views.
When I lived in Washington, the voter pamphlet featured perennial candidate Goodspaceguy, whose platform at one point was that King County should build a spaceport. Not the state as a whole -- though 47° north is not where I'd put one -- but the county.
