I'm on the pavement thinkin' 'bout the government

[cyrano]

Sooooo. After watching the Colbert Report last week, I got to wondering exactly how one might go about getting a candidate on the ballot for the state's big Republican primary.
And I'm too lazy/at work to go Googling for the information right now, so if somebody were to know this information or be bored and wanted to tell me, I would not object.

PS: Only 455 days until I have to retire this icon, where it will take its proud place with the Vesa Toskala icon.
