Nancy Spannaus first ran against Republican U.S. Sen. John Warner in 1990, and she has not given up yet.
The LaRouche Democrat announced her candidacy for the Democratic Party nomination for U.S. Senate this week.
Her caustic campaigns normally do not win her many votes, and this will be her fourth bid for a statewide office in five years.
She once told a reporter she was running on principles under the banner of Lyndon LaRouche, the five-time presidential candidate who served five years in federal prison for conspiracy and mail fraud in soliciting $30 million in loans.
Spannaus said she is running this time because ``the party, and President Clinton, need the strongest possible candidate against the fascist austerity onslaught encapsulated in the Contract on America program.''
She said there are two major issues in the campaign: the disintegration of the financial system, which could lead to ``a New Dark Age,'' and the criminal corruption of the bureaucracy at the Department of Justice.
