New York City busker Robert Burck, who is better known to the world as the Naked Cowboy, had launched his campaign to become the mayor of the city.

No one knows how to do more with less than yours truly, and that's the kind of thinking I plan on sharing with my fellow New Yorkers when you elect me," said Robert Burck, announcing his bid to run against Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

There's more on his website.

Today, I would like to announce that I am entering the race for the office of the Mayor of New York City. Why? Well, right now this city can't afford wasteful spending. What we really need is smarter spending. Folks come up to me every day and tell me they've lost their life-savings, that their small businesses are barely getting by. And small businesses are the key to getting this city back on its feet. So we need initiatives that help put them on the right track. But the city can't afford to back an 18-wheeler full of money into every problem. It's time to tighten the belt, but of course that's just a saying because I don't even wear a belt. But that's my point - I don't need a belt. I don't need the whole suit and tie thing either.

So, do you think a naked mayor might bring more respect for New York, or at least more tourist dollars? Find out more about who you might be voting for in this YesButNoButYes interview from a few years back (part one and part two).
