Former Libertarian Party member Dell Schanze, known to many as "Super Dell," has made it official. We reported last week here at Libertarian Republican, that he was considering a run for Governor, but not sure on which ticket; Libertarian Party or GOP. He's since made his choice. Schanze will be running in the GOP primary.

Reports The Examiner:

Super Dell Schanze has filed the necessary paperwork to challenge republicans Gary Herbert and Richard Martin for governor. The last time Schanze ran for the same office in 2008, he did so as a libertarian. He received less than 3% of the vote and subsequently lost the mayoral race in Saratoga Springs. He has also run for Salt Lake County Mayor against Peter Corroon.

Schanze is well known throughout Utah and the Rocky Mountain West for his outrageous TV commercials promoting his former business Awesome Computers. He's also a full-time professional Para-glider.

Schanze was considered eccentric, even for the somewhat fringe Libertarian Party. Some Utah LP members originally opposed his candidacy on the grounds that it might hurt the Party's reputation.
