Some Famous People called Bob Kelleher
Bob Kelleher
Robert “Bob” Kelleher (March 30, 1923 – May 29, 2011), was an American attorney who spent most of his life in Butte, Montana. A perennial candidate, he served in elected office during the 1972 Montana Constitutional Convention. He ran for several political offices on various party tickets, including those of the Democratic Party and the Green Party. He was the 2008 Republican Party nominee for the United States Senate.
Kelleher espoused a mix of left-wing and right-wing political views. He was best known for advocating that the United States adopt a Parliamentary system of government. He opposed abortion, and also favored single-payer health care. Starting in 1964, Kelleher ran for public office 16 times, including a bid for the Presidency in 1976, where he made the ballot in New Hampshire, Massachusetts and Georgia. He was a major party nominee, on the Democratic party ticket, for the U.S. House of Representatives in the former Montana District 2 ("Eastern District") in 1968.
He ran for governor on five different occasions, losing the Democratic primaries in 1980, 1984, 1992, and 1996; while running on the Green Party ticket in 2004.
In June 2008, he won a surprise victory in a five-way primary election on the Republican ticket to be chosen as the nominee to face incumbent U.S. Senator Max Baucus. It was his second run against Baucus, whom he also challenged in the 2002 Senate race on the Green party ticket (2.3%). He also ran for the U.S. Senate in 1988. In the 2008 United States Senate election in Montana, he got 27% of the vote against Baucus. He was snubbed by the GOP post-nomination and received no funding.
Kelleher took many positions that were highly unorthodox by Republican Party standards, such as favoring more liberal drug control policies, supporting universal healthcare and affirmative action, and favoring fair trade restrictions. Erik Iverson, chairman of the Montana Republican Party, said, "Bob's ideology, with the exception that he's pro-life, doesn't even remotely resemble the platform of the Montana Republican Party."
Kelleher died May 29, 2011, in Billings, Montana, a practicing lawyer until his death.
