Fred Karger is the first Republican to form an exploratory committee to explore the option of running for President of the United States. Karger would be the first openly gay presidential nominee if he wins the nomination. Karger has never held elective office, but was an aide to Republican President Ronald Reagan. More recently, he has formed the Californians Against Hate group, focused on working against Proposition 8 which effectively banned same-sex marriage in California.
Karger has little name recognition, but that hasn't stopped him from visiting Iowa and even putting out a campaign commercial.
If you want to hear more from Karger, he'll be appearing on the Alan Colmes' Show tonight. The show airs locally on WXNT 1430-AM between 10:00pm-1:00am EST, or you can listen to the online stream at Fox News Radio.
