Would You Vote for Billy the Kid?

From CNN:

Think Barack Hussein Obama has it rough campaigning for president with a name like that? The Illinois senator has nothing on Frankenstein Momin. Or Billy Kid Sangma. Or Adolf Lu Hitler Marak.

The three men are among dozens of others with equally colorful names who are competing for legislative seats in Meghalaya, a remote northeast Indian state, on March 3.

There are about 60 seats up for grabs, 331 candidates vying, and no shortage of unusual names.

There’s Britainwar Dan, Admiral Sangma and Bombersingh Hynniewta — all ready for battle.

There’s Laborious Manik Syiem and Hilarius Pohchen. Boldness Nongrum and Clever Marak. Even a Tony Curtis Lyngdoh.

“Maybe my parents liked the name and hence christened me Hitler,” he once told the Hindustan Times newspaper.

“I am happy with my name, although I don’t have any dictatorial tendencies.”

Priceless.
