Just curious, been wondering:

Has any candidate for President in U.S. history
 ever been arrested and incarcerated,
 between securing ballot access in a majority of states,
  such that he was drubbed out of the running?

Trying to remember,
  but can't seem to recall anything like this
  in my history classes.

Certainly there are a couple of instances involving
  extreme fringe folk,
  but has any "popular" candidates  been "locked down"?

(If _______ wanted to ensure a captive vote,
  it could be arranged, perhaps.)

 >.....X.....< EDIT>.......X.......<

I Found It

Eugene V. Debs 1920

But still can't find how many states he made ballot in.

Want to run for president from jail yourself? Thats sort of weird. But whatever you want. You can do anything at my RPG, Pawns of Power. I need players and you'll have a good time. Everybody wins (except the nine losers...) Come see what it's all about, on the Pawns of Power thread at the Individual Politics subforum.

In 1924 the Socialist Labor's Candidate for President died in while campaigning in West Virginia. He was campaigning when he heard a little boy crying for help. The little boy had fell in a pond and was drowning! The candidate jumped into thje pond, saved the boy, but was taken down by undertow, so he dround.

The replacement candidate was his Vice Presidential running mate, Frank Johns.

Didn't Lyndon LaRouche run while in jail?   I think it was 1992.  I remember he bought some time on ABC and I believe he did a voice-over by telephone because he was in jail.

get your spellings right Smiley
And there's tons of literature on whether or not Mumia's guilty...it's safe to say there's no really conclusive proof though...

Because Michael Moore is a traitor and should immediately be charged with treason and sedition. I can think of probably a million other Islamics in this nation who are plotting our destruction who deserve the same.

Let us do that.
That first amendment is a major obstacle to
  getting this Republic straightened out.
We don't need people spouting off nonsense,
  we need disciplined order.

We can start by arresting that new traitor, Badnarik, right?
Ice the cake a bit by rounding up all his treasonous Libertarians.

Those rabblerousers don't even know how to march in formation.
Let that traitor try to run for President from the inside of concrete box,
  that'll teach him what useless garbage all that constitutional hogwash is!

Mr. Senator StatesRights, I salute you!

No I agree w/the Libertarians on a LOT of issues..obviously you've never read any of my posts. But their are times when freedom of speech should have limits. Our current war against terror is a fine example.

Actually, I have read more than a few of your posts.
Although there are occasional points we can disagree upon,
  your positions are not ordinarily a contention.
I just picked up on this one because I object.
 (Is that ok with you?)

Although I find a lot of MM's views terribly naive and,
  in some instances, just plain wrong, he is not worthy of this.
He is not plotting the undoing of the nation.
He is a media man, an overstuffed guy who actually cares.
He weaves his cares into his work, and he does a fair job of it.
With all of that is a load of socialist nonsense and other
  nauseating attitudes, but it is his freedom to speak.
And although I disagree vehemently with some of his sick ideas,
  I will always defend that right, to criticize what he perceives
  as deadly sins in the nations ways, as distorted as it may be.

He is guilty of being wrong, perhaps.
But he is innocent of what you wish to apply to him.
And if you sacrifice our freedom to satisfy your whims,
  then you open the floodgates to tides of reasonless passion.
More innocents perish in battles waged in politics
  than all the true thugs the world has ever pursued,

If the 'status quo' political system prevails in this end-game,
  we can expect to see a lot of innocent folk locked away.
All arrested and shipped off due to flame-point emotionalism
  inspired by shrill rhetoric responding to a loss of liberties.

The guilty are not wise and experienced judicial sages,
  but rather any hot-headed government lackey who
  gets miffed about some 'free-spirit' venting steam.
This is the way liberties get trampled - not by hordes of
  brown-shirts tramping in cadence down the street.
Short-circuiting the First Amendment is recipe for catastrophe.

And thus my initial query about a presidential candidate in jail.

These do indeed resemble the 'end of days' self-fulfilling prophecy,
  and if my guess is correct, it may not be too long before Bush
  sends his goons around to arrest Badnarik.

Who knows, you may get lucky: Bush might just put MM away, too.

Well I doubt I'll change your mind, no matter how many criticisms I make of the above statement. I just don't want this country to turn into Iran. No one should be arrested or prosecuted for something they write or say, when it comes to criticising the government. I love the freedom we have to disagree. Though I suspect you're frustrated by people who hate America but continue to enjoy our freedoms, I say let them talk...  they'll be proved wrong by their own rhetoric. (those who call america fascist for example)
