HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- He may be average, but his campaign is not.

Joe Shriner from Cleveland, Ohio, is running for president in 2012 -- as he’s done in the past three presidential elections.

The “Average Joe” candidate, as he calls himself, made a campaign stop in Huntington at Pullman Square Friday afternoon.

Shriner tells WSAZ.com that he’s covered 80,000 miles during his run for president.

He hasn't won yet, but says if he does, it "will be bigger than Sarah Palin and Michael Jackson."

Shriner’s wife and three kids joined him on the campaign stop.

I think every citizen, like jury duty, should be required to serve as an official. That way the people are truly represented and the greedy lifelong politicians are a thing of the past. Start it at the state level and work your way up. Government for the people and by the people...

OK. We don't need an 'Average Joe' President. Most every politician that we have these days are just 'Average Joes' who happen to weed their way into an important position. They are nothing but juveniles. We need someone extraordinary, someone who has common sense, in touch with the people, and has the country's best interests at heart - not the world's.

  • Five things we learned from Santorum's sweep
    Rick Santorum's clean sweep in Colorado, Minnesota and Missouri on Tuesday was the latest plot twist in what was already a potboiler of a Republican presidential campaign. Here are five things we learned from Tuesday:
  • Michelle Obama challenges Jimmy Fallon
    First lady Michelle Obama takes on late night TV host Jimmy Fallon in a fitness challenge.
  • Santorum: Race in 'no man's land'
    As he was handily winning three Republican contests and stalling frontrunner Mitt Romney's clear path to the Republican presidential nomination, Rick Santorum proclaimed to CNN that the 2012 GOP race was now "in a little bit of no man's land."
  • Santorum claims momentum after 3-state sweep
    Rick Santorum awoke to a new reality Wednesday after sweeping all three Republican presidential contests a day earlier, reshaping the contest that will decide who runs against President Barack Obama in November.
  • Payroll tax cut extension stalls again
    Deja vu, round two, a bad sequel or simply "here we go again" are some ways to describe the latest fight over extending the payroll tax cut. But even facing an end-of-month deadline before the 2% tax holiday expires, lawmakers appear no closer to a deal.
